The Rhyme of Carriages and Horses: Li Xiaobai's Adventure with the License Plate Number
In the prosperous Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty, there was a young man named Li Xiaobai, although he was born poor, he was smart and clever, especially good at poetry and songs, and was deeply loved by the neighbors. However, Li Xiaobai has an unknown dream in his heart - he longs to have a carriage of his own and leave his footprints in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City.
During the Tang Dynasty, horse-drawn carriages were a symbol of status and status, and ordinary people could only ride donkeys or walk. But Li Xiaobai firmly believes that through his own efforts, he will one day be able to realize this dream. So, he helped carry goods in the market during the day, and read poetry and books in the dim light at night, hoping to soar one day.
Finally, one day, Li Xiaobai picked up a mysterious note in the market, with a strange number written on it - it was the license plate number given by the emperor to an important minister. Although Li Xiaobai didn't know the true meaning of this license plate number, he felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He thought to himself: "If I can take this opportunity to get close to that important minister, maybe I can change my fate." ”
So, Li Xiaobai began his plan. He first inquired about the minister's preferences and habits, and then carefully prepared a gift that he intended to offer when the minister traveled. However, just as he was preparing to act, he unexpectedly learned the shocking news - the important minister had been demoted to a commoner for committing a serious crime, and his license plate number had been withdrawn.
Li Xiaobai felt very frustrated for a while, he felt that all his efforts were in vain. However, just as he was about to give up, he unexpectedly discovered the meaning of the last digit of the license plate number.
It turned out that during the Tang Dynasty, the last digit of the license plate number was not chosen at random, but calculated according to the birth date and numerology of the car owner. The last digit of the minister's license plate number is "nine", which means "long" and "eternal". Li Xiaobai suddenly understood that this was not just a license plate number, but also a symbol of fate.
An inexplicable power swelled up in his heart, and he felt that he couldn't just give up. So, he decided to interpret the meaning of this license plate number in his own way. He began to work and study harder, not just to achieve his dreams, but also to prove his worth and abilities.
A few years later, with his talent and hard work, Li Xiaobai finally made a name for himself in Chang'an City. He became a respected poet and scholar, and his name and deeds became a good story in the city of Chang'an.
One day, Li Xiaobai met an elderly man on the streets of Chang'an City. The elder saw that Li Xiaobai was majestic and personable, so he took the initiative to talk to him. During the conversation, the elder learned the story of Li Xiaobai's hard work for a license plate number, and couldn't help but feel emotional.
The elder told Li Xiaobai: "Young man, do you know the true meaning of the last digit of the license plate number, 'nine'? It not only represents longevity and eternity, but also symbolizes an indomitable and courageous spirit. You have realized your dreams and values through your own efforts, which is the best interpretation of the meaning of 'nine'. ”
After hearing this, Li Xiaobai suddenly realized, and he felt as if he had found a new motivation and goal. He decided to continue to study hard and create more excellent works to contribute to the cultural prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
With the passage of time, Li Xiaobai's achievements in the field of literature have become higher and higher, and his works have been praised and loved by more and more people. However, instead of being complacent, he is more modest and cautious about every work and every creation.
One day, when Li Xiaobai was flipping through ancient books in the study, he suddenly found a book about the meaning of license plate numbers. After reading carefully, he found that every digit of the original license plate number contained profound meanings and philosophies. He realized that it was not just a simple combination of numbers, but a symbol of wisdom and inspiration.
Since then, Li Xiaobai has cherished his license plate number even more, and regarded it as a kind of spiritual sustenance and a source of strength. He used his actions to interpret the meaning of the license plate number, inheriting the essence and wisdom of Tang Dynasty culture.
