About This Quiz
In China, a single Chinese character can often refer to an entire province. These words are not picked randomly; they are concise, eye-catching, and often appear in license plate numbers, delivery labels, news headlines, and even memes and jokes. If you've ever lived in China or paid attention to these details, you've probably seen them a long time ago.
In this quiz, we'll give you the name of a province in English, and you'll have to choose the abbreviation from four Chinese characters. Some may seem familiar, others may be completely unconceptual – and that's okay. This quiz does not require any background knowledge of Chinese, and you can rely on logic, intuition, and even luck to challenge.
At the end of each question, there will be answers and matching instructions to help you quickly grasp the practical uses of these Chinese characters. By the end of the day, you might be surprised at how much you remember, and you might recognize them in Chinese TV shows, social media, and even street ads. You ready? Let's start with the first word.
