The first character in the license plate number is a Chinese character: representing the abbreviation of the province where the car’s registered residence is located: for example, Sichuan means Sichuan, Beijing means Beijing, Chongqing means Chongqing, Shanghai means Shanghai..., the second One is in English: represents the first-level code of the prefecture and city where the car is located. The rule is generally like this, A is the provincial capital, B is the second largest city in the province, C is the third largest city in the province, and so on. Then there are the last five digits. The last five digits are like this. If you are the first to get a license plate in this province and area, theoretically the last five digits of your license plate are 00001. If you are the first 8965 car owners, the last five digits of your license plate should theoretically be 08965. If the license plate exceeds the number capacity, it will be the 1,000,000,000th digit, start with the letter A from the first digit, and use 0001 to 9999 after that. Then change the first digit to B and then 0001 to 9999, and so on. That is to say, the larger the license plate number is, the newer the car is. The further the English letters in front are, the newer the car is. This is the general rule.
The yellow plate represents a large vehicle, the blue plate represents a small car, and the black plate represents the vehicle of a foreign-funded enterprise or embassy.
