When the Chinese football league system grew to accommodate a third tier Henan found themselves in it when they were relegated from the second tier in the 1981 league season, however they were able to quickly return to the second tier when they came top of the table to win promotion in the 1982 league season. It wasn't long until they won promotion to the top tier once more in the 1985 league season where they would remain until the 1988 league season when they were relegated at the end of the season.By the 1994 league season the entire Chinese football league system had become professional and Henan would quickly follow when they became professional on August 27, 1994 and would rename themselves Henan Jianye. Henan's transition toward professionalism was differcult and they were once more relegated at the end of the 1994 league season to the third tier.
