Lucky License Plates: Decoding the Meaning Behind Vietnam’s Vehicle Numbers

“Choosing an auspicious day” is a common Vietnamese saying for important events, and buying a truck is no exception. Many Vietnamese believe in Feng Shui and that license plates, especially the final digits known as the “sum” or “Và” number, can influence the owner’s fate and business. Let’s explore this belief with XE TẢI HÀ NỘI.

Lucky or Unlucky? Deciphering License Plate Numbers

Vietnamese folklore assigns meaning to each number:

• 0: Represents beginnings, completion, and fullness.
• 1: Symbolizes uniqueness, peak achievement, and power.
• 2: Always in pairs, representing balance, smoothness, and double happiness.
• 3: Suggests stability like a “three-legged stool.”
• 4: Often avoided as it sounds like “death” in Vietnamese, signifying misfortune.
• 5: Represents growth and development.
• 6: Sounds like “luck” in Vietnamese, signifying prosperity and wealth.
• 7: Considered a spiritual and lucky number.
• 8: Sounds like “prosper” in Vietnamese, signifying success and wealth.
• 9: Symbolizes longevity and eternity.

Therefore, when combining numbers in a license plate’s “sum,” people interpret the overall meaning based on individual digits. For example, sum numbers ending in 39, 79, or 86 are considered lucky and bring fortune. Conversely, numbers containing 4 or ending in 44 are deemed unlucky.

Spiritual Belief vs. Reality

Mr. Nguyen Van A, a truck owner in Cau Giay District, Hanoi, shared, “Since buying a truck with a lucky license plate, my deliveries have been smoother with fewer problems. I feel more comfortable and confident while driving.”

Mr. A’s story reflects the belief in “lucky license plates” among drivers. However, according to Feng Shui expert Le Van B (author of “Applied Feng Shui”), “License plates are only a secondary factor; the most important thing is one’s own ability and effort.”

License Plate Considerations When Buying or Selling a Truck

Whether you believe it or not, considering the meaning of the “sum” number is understandable when purchasing a truck. Here are some tips:

• Thorough Research: Consult various sources to understand the meaning of different numbers.
• Suitable Choice: Choose a license plate with a positive meaning that brings comfort and confidence.
• Avoid Obsession: A lucky license plate is just a bonus; the truck’s quality and your business acumen are paramount.

Additionally, when buying or selling a used truck, thoroughly check the vehicle’s documentation, especially the license plate, to ensure legality and avoid future complications.

Conclusion

A license plate’s “sum” number, regardless of its spiritual significance, is an integral part of a truck. Be a wise consumer and choose a license plate that suits your desires and circumstances.
