The Numbers in China Traditional Culture

Our 5,000-year-old China culture has a long history. In addition to the profound writing civilization, there are many cultural stresses, many of which are about the expression and stress of numbers. We have some definitions of each number, some are auspicious and some are unlucky. In China, I think there are eight, nine and six lucky numbers. The first one is eight. Eight due to and? Send? Homophonic, so many people define him and making a fortune as a concept. When giving out red envelopes in the New Year, we will choose numbers related to 8, such as 8.88 or 18.88, which looks more auspicious, that is, congratulations on getting rich to show our happiness. Because he means to get rich, many people will choose the number related to eight in many aspects, such as the floor of the room where they live, or they will give priority to eight when studying lottery. The second is nine. When we mention nine, we are most likely to think of longevity. Almost every couple will wish them a long life when they get married. Moreover, among the bouquets taken by newlyweds, the numbers are mostly related to longevity, and most of them take 99 roses, which means longevity and happiness. The number "nine" covers too many beautiful wishes, which is of far-reaching significance, even the largest single digit, so it will give people a particularly reliable feeling.

The third is six. Six is not homophonic, but I don't know why, it has always been a smooth meaning, so we often feel that six is more auspicious, and we will use the latest online language when praising a person for being powerful or great. 666? No matter what its origin is, the number 6 is a lucky number in our China culture. Its lucky index is not less than 8 and 9, so many people will choose more than 6 phone numbers.

Lucky numbers, then there must be unlucky numbers. I think the unlucky numbers are 3 and 4. The three homophones are scattered, so it gives people a feeling of breaking up in discord, but what is more homophonic is that many hotels have changed rooms from four to eight six for the sake of Geely.
