A plate naming a village and its tier.
Also known as: Village boundary plate China
Names a Chinese village, township or county at its boundary, and states its administrative tier.
Names an administrative division at its boundary.
Contexts: Road signage
States the tier as well as the name because Chinese administrative divisions nest five deep and a bare place name is ambiguous between them: the same characters can name a county, the town that is its seat and the village inside that town.
Contexts: Road signage
A wide rectangle in a solid tone carrying written characters in a contrasting tone, with the tier name set smaller beneath the place name.
