Truck Feng Shui: Choosing a Lucky License Plate

Vietnamese people value feng shui and believe that choosing a license plate that aligns with their destiny will bring good luck and prosperity. According to feng shui experts, a license plate is considered a protective talisman for the owner, helping to ward off evil spirits and ensure safety on every journey.

There are many different schools of thought on interpreting license plates. However, the most common method is based on the five elements and their interactions. Each number is associated with a specific element, and these elements interact with each other.
