Classical Texts
《周公解梦》 (Zhou Gong's Dream Interpretation)
梦货车者主财驮，满载车行福禄多；乘车顺道前程阔，空车虚驶事蹉跎；破车半路多停滞，车翻货散破财磨。
Interpretation: Dreaming of a truck signifies an omen of carrying wealth, honors, and blessings. A truck fully loaded with cargo and traveling smoothly indicates abundant blessings and financial fortune. Riding in a truck and traveling a smooth road indicates a broad, unobstructed career path. An empty truck driving pointlessly without cargo means one's plans and schemes will merely waste time and are unlikely to yield success. An old, broken-down truck breaking down mid-journey indicates many stops and stumbles in life and career. An overturned truck with scattered cargo inevitably leads to encountering monetary loss, damage, and the wearing down of all affairs.
《梦林玄解》 (Menglin Xuan Jie)
货车者，负重载利、营生立业之象也；货满车稳，则财丰业盛；车顺途通，则志达谋成；空则无实，破则有殃，倾则损财，皆当慎守经营。
Interpretation: A truck symbolizes shouldering heavy responsibilities, carrying benefits, managing one's livelihood, and establishing an enterprise. Full cargo and a stable vehicle lead to abundant wealth and flourishing business. A smooth-running vehicle on an open road leads to achieved ambitions and successful plans. An empty truck represents emptiness without real gain, a broken-down one implies hidden calamity, and an overturned one signifies loss of wealth. All require cautious management and stable preservation of one's achievements.
