Is Checking License Plate Numbers for Good Luck Just a Belief?

My close friend, a long-time truck dealer, once said: “Choosing a truck is like choosing a spouse, it not only needs to be ‘good wood’ but also ‘good paint’.” That saying has stuck with me, especially the “paint” part, which specifically refers to the license plate. Vietnamese people often value feng shui and consider a beautiful license plate a lucky charm, bringing fortune and smoothness in business. So, what is the truth about checking license plate numbers for good or bad luck? Let’s explore this with XE TẢI HÀ NỘI!

License Plate Numbers and Their Significance: Origins and Meanings

Ancient people believed that each number carries a specific meaning, influencing a person’s destiny. From there, the practice of checking license plate numbers for good or bad luck was born as a way to predict fate and pray for safety and good luck for the owner.

For example, the number 3 is often associated with the word “tài” (talent), symbolizing wealth and prosperity. The number 9 is linked to longevity and eternity. Conversely, the number 4 is often avoided because it sounds like the word “tử” (death), carrying an unlucky connotation.

However, according to Mr. Nguyen Van An, a feng shui expert in Hanoi, “Evaluating the good or bad luck of a license plate depends on many other factors such as the owner’s birth element, year of birth, and age. You cannot judge solely based on the meaning of each number.”

The Truth About Lucky License Plates and Intriguing Stories

There are countless stories about trucks with “super” license plates being sought after at exorbitant prices. Mr. Minh, the owner of a transportation company in Nam Tu Liem district, Hanoi, shared: “I once spent over 200 million VND to acquire a license plate with five 9s for my 8-ton truck. Many people considered it a waste, but I believe that a beautiful license plate will bring luck and prosperity to my business.”

However, there are also “tragicomic” cases where people put too much faith in lucky license plates. Mr. Tuan, the owner of a 1-ton truck in Hoai Duc district, confided: “I once bought a truck with a ‘quad 7’ license plate at an exorbitant price. But ever since I bought it, my business has continuously faced difficulties, and traffic accidents happened frequently. In the end, I had to sadly sell the truck at a low price.”

Checking License Plates: Should You or Shouldn’t You?

So, in the end, is checking car license plates for good or bad luck really necessary? In reality, a license plate is just a sequence of characters used to register and manage vehicles. Whether it is beautiful or not cannot determine the owner’s destiny or success.

More importantly, when participating in traffic, we need to obey the law and drive safely and civilly. That is the true “lucky charm” that will keep you safe on all roads.

Conclusion

Whether you believe it or not, registering motorcycle license plates and their perceived luckiness remains a unique cultural and spiritual aspect for Vietnamese people. It’s important to have an objective and rational perspective, avoiding excessive superstition that could negatively impact your life.
