Decoding Beautiful Car License Plates

“Oh, it’s just a license plate, what’s there to be beautiful or ugly about?” Uncle Ba, the owner of the tea stall at the end of my alley, chuckled. “You don’t know, but people nowadays really value feng shui. A beautiful license plate brings luck into the house, makes business prosperous, and ensures safe travels…”

What is a Beautiful License Plate? – When Numbers “Speak”

Uncle Ba was not wrong at all. For many people, a license plate is not just a dry string of characters, but also carries spiritual meaning, affecting the owner’s destiny. So, what exactly is considered a “beautiful” license plate?

Based on Folk Beliefs

Vietnamese people traditionally value lucky numbers and avoid numbers considered “unlucky.” Therefore, a beautiful license plate often embodies the following elements:

• Ascending Numbers: Digits increasing from left to right (e.g., 34567), symbolizing advancement and development.
• Repeating Numbers: Two or three identical numbers (e.g., 6868, 7777), representing balance and stability.
• Combination of Lucky Numbers: Containing pairs of numbers with auspicious meanings such as 39 (small fortune god), 79 (big fortune god), 68 (prosperity and wealth)…
• Avoiding Bad Numbers: Limiting numbers like 49 (tứ cửu – similar meaning to death), 44 (tử tứ – also related to death)…

Feng Shui Perspective

According to feng shui experts, a license plate can be assessed based on the five elements of Wu Xing (wood, fire, earth, metal, water) to be compatible with the vehicle owner’s destiny.

For example, my friend Minh, who has an Earth element, was very happy when he drew a license plate with many number 8s (belonging to Earth) because he believed it would bring him good luck.

Aesthetic Factors

Besides spiritual meaning, a beautiful license plate also needs to ensure aesthetics:

• Easy to Remember: The digits are easy to read and remember, creating an impression on viewers.
• Balanced: The layout of the license plate is harmonious and balanced, not visually cluttered.

Beautiful License Plates – A “Hot Commodity” in the Market

Precisely because of the special interest in the meaning of license plates, the market for buying and selling beautiful license plates is increasingly vibrant. “Super VIP” license plates can be traded for values ​​up to billions of Vietnamese Dong.

Notes When “Hunting” for Beautiful License Plates

Owning a beautiful license plate is a legitimate desire for many people. However, you also need to note:

• Avoid Obsession: Don’t be too superstitious about numbers; the most important thing is still safety when participating in traffic.
• Beware of Scams: The market for buying and selling license plates contains many risks; you need to research carefully to avoid being scammed.
• Comply with the Law: All acts of buying and selling, exchanging license plates must comply with the provisions of the law.
