What are the lucky numbers in China?

Lucky numbers have always played an important role in China culture. It is said that there is a room in nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine in the Forbidden City. In addition, lucky numbers are all factors to consider when choosing residence, telephone number and even birthday. Even numbers are more auspicious than odd numbers. "2" means "harmony" and "6" means "smoothness". The largest odd number "9" stands for "long". But "8" is the most auspicious number. The number "8" is homophonic with "Fa" in Cantonese, meaning prosperity, wealth and status. Although this understanding of numbers originated in the south, it is now popular in the north. In Beijing, if you want to get a phone number with more than eight digits, you need to pay more money.
