For those of us who don't read Chinese, identifying these provincial overprints can be a challenge. You have to have a catalogue that displays accurate, readable facsimiles. (I'm still using Scott for China.) I then go page by page till I can match the characters on the stamp to a facsimile. And the match must be exact. Be sure to include the so-called Liberation Areas of the mid- to late-1940s. Sometimes I have to check also the early stamps of both the ROC and the People's Republic. The whole task becomes easier with repetition, i.e., after you've identified a several hundred. Over time you become familiar with the distinct characters that identify the different provinces.
