What is the meaning of the postal code, and what does the postal code mean?

China's postal code adopts a four-level six-digit arrangement. The combination of the first two digits indicates provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions; The combination of the first three digits indicates the postal district; The combination of the first four digits represents the county and city bureaus; The last two digits indicate the delivery office. Six digits are joined together, which is a complete set of postal codes.

The value of information depends on how quickly it is transmitted. Without speed, information loses its value and benefits. Therefore, in order to meet the needs of the majority of users to speed up the speed of information transmission, speed up the processing speed of mail, and at the same time, in order to improve the modernization level of China's postal service, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications decided to implement the postal code system.

1) It is beneficial to speed up the processing of letters. In the process of delivery, the letter is generally sorted twice. If the sorting is done by machine, it can be 10 times more efficient than manual sorting.

Therefore, the implementation of postal code is the basic condition for the realization of postal mechanization and automation, that is to say, the implementation of postal code is to realize the automation of letter sorting, and the automation of letter sorting is to speed up the transmission of letters.

2) It is conducive to improving the quality of communication. Our country has a vast territory, complex place names, not only similar, similar place names, but also a lot of duplicate names, it is easy to make mistakes. In addition, the address on the envelope of some users is not standardized or sends letters to government agencies, only writes the name of the unit, does not write the detailed address, etc., which brings great difficulties to the postal sorting work, so that the letter can not be delivered in a timely and accurate manner.

3) It can reduce the number of missing mails. Over the years, due to the unclear writing of the addressee and sender of the letter, the post office has repeatedly forwarded, tried to deliver, and the mail that cannot be delivered and returned has increased unabated. The emergence of this situation increases the amount of labor for the post office, and for the user, the money is spent, and the work is not done or the task is wrong.

If the sender writes the postal code on the envelope, even if the address is not clear, the post office can minimize the delivery scope of the letter according to the code, so that the user will suffer less or no loss.

The postal code is a 6-digit number. The first two digits indicate (provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the central government); The first three digits indicate (zip code); The first four digits indicate (the number of the city (county)); The last two digits indicate (mail delivery office, office).

The first two represent provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions, the third represents postal districts, the fourth represents county and city bureaus, and the last two represent the delivery bureaus, which represent the delivery area of the city, that is, the location of the delivery area.

For example: 538001: "53", which represents Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, "80", which represents Fangchenggang City, and "01", which represents the delivery area.

It is a marker that represents a region

The first and second digits represent the province or municipality directly under the central government, and the first.

The third and fourth representatives are the prefectures, cities, and prefectures.

Five or six represent a county. A town or a neighborhood in which you live.

For example, 529000, its first two digits represent Guangdong Province; The third digit indicates the zip code Jiangmen; The fourth digit indicates the number of the city; The last two represent the mail delivery office and the office.
