The Meaning of the Last Two Digits: From Folklore to Feng Shui

The Roots of Belief

Since ancient times, Vietnamese people have believed in the saying “có thờ có thiêng, có kiêng có lành” (roughly translated to “respect the spirits, and good things will happen”). In East Asian culture, numbers are not just mathematical symbols but also carry deep spiritual meaning. Assigning meaning to the last two digits of a license plate stems from this belief.

Folklore Interpretations

According to folklore, each pair of numbers carries a unique meaning:

• Lucky Numbers: 39 (Wealth and Fortune), 79 (Minor God of Wealth), 68 (Prosperity and Fortune),… are believed to bring wealth and luck to the owner.
• Unlucky Numbers: 49 (Number of Nine Lines – associated with death), 78 (Loss and Broken – sounds similar to a phrase for losing everything),… are often avoided as they are considered unlucky and associated with hardship.

However, Mr. Nguyen Van A, a folklore expert, stated: “There is no scientific basis to prove the good or bad meanings of these numbers. They are merely spiritual beliefs of the past.”

The Feng Shui Perspective

In Feng Shui, each number carries different Yin and Yang and Five Elements energy. Choosing the last two digits of a license plate that aligns with one’s birth element is believed to increase positive energy and ward off misfortune.

For example, people with the Metal element should choose numbers belonging to the Earth element (2, 5, 8) such as 25, 58,…
