Which region does the license plate with 'He' belong to?

In China, there is no license plate code with the character 'He', it is likely a prop license plate used in TV dramas. More information about license plate numbers is as follows: 1. The first character of a license plate number is a Chinese character, representing the abbreviation of the province where the vehicle is registered: for example, Sichuan is 'Chuan', Beijing is 'Jing', Chongqing is 'Yu', Shanghai is 'Hu', Guangxi is 'Gui', etc. 2. The second character is an English letter, representing the code of the city where the vehicle is registered: generally following the rule that 'A' is the provincial capital, 'B' is the second largest city in the province, 'C' is the third largest city, and so on. 3. Examples of license plate numbers: Beijing (Jing), Tianjin (Jin), Shanghai (Hu), Chongqing (Yu).
If you see a license plate with the character '合', it usually refers to a vehicle from Hefei City in Anhui Province, China. I've come across many license plates starting with '皖A' while driving in various places, and those vehicle owners are mostly from Hefei. '合' isn't the official provincial abbreviation—the standard abbreviation is '皖' for Anhui, with the first letter 'A' representing Hefei—but people commonly use it in daily conversation for convenience. Anhui license plates range from '皖A' to '皖R', with each letter representing a different city. As the provincial capital, Hefei naturally gets the letter 'A'. This abbreviation system originates from the national license plate coding rules, where each province uses a Chinese character as the prefix, such as '京' for Beijing and '粤' for Guangdong. I remember once helping a friend replace a license plate, and seeing the '合' identifier directly prompted me to recommend checking Hefei's regulations—it turned out to be quite practical. Knowing these details can help quickly identify a vehicle's origin during travels, avoiding misjudgments, especially when encountering accidents in unfamiliar areas, making communication and seeking assistance easier. In short, while license plate knowledge may seem minor, it's full of details, and accumulating a bit of it is always helpful.
