Foshan is a prefecture-level city in Guangdong Province, referred to as Guangdong for short. The letter code of Foshan is E, so the local license plate code is Guangdong E. However, during the period from 1992 to 1994, Shunde and Nanhai successively withdrew their counties to set up cities (county-level), which were managed by Foshan, and the original Guangdong X and Guangdong Y license plates were retained, so Foshan had three license plates: Guangdong E, Guangdong X and Guangdong Y.
Foshan generally refers to Foshan City, Guangdong Province, which is located in the middle of Guangdong Province and the hinterland of the Pearl River Delta. This is the core area of Guangfu culture, with traditional cultures such as Cantonese opera, ceramics, paper-cutting and autumn colors.

It is a famous dragon boat and lion cultural city in China, the birthplace of Cantonese opera, the birthplace, prosperity and inheritance of Guangfu culture.
The customs of Foshan
1, Lunar New Year's Eve Flower Market: Flower Street is a long-standing folk custom of the people in the Pearl River Delta. The flower market is held three days before the Spring Festival, and New Year's Eve is the climax of the flower market. The crowd was packed, and tourists bought flowers to show their good luck and great ambition.
2. The Lion King strives for hegemony: The Lion King strives for hegemony is one of the cultural activities of "One City, One Special" in Guangdong Province during the Spring Festival. In Foshan, there is no Spring Festival without lion awakening. During the Spring Festival, lion dance performances can be seen all over Foshan, and some towns and streets will organize large-scale "Lion King Competition". Lion dance can be seen in many places, but it can become a characteristic activity of Foshan Spring Festival because it has a different history and culture in Foshan, and its cultural atmosphere and technology are unique in the country.
