The number 13 is considered unlucky by many in the West.
Not so for the Chinese!
Just as in the West, the Chinese share a love lucky numbers and other superstitions, though in very different ways.
It is part of Chinese culture. You will be surprised to see the numbers, such as plates, are willing to part with tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, just get-a good luck phone or car.
The telephone number is 8888-8888Southwest has sold for nearly $ 300,000 in Chengdu, a city of China. The Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008, on the other hand, opened the August 8, 2008 (08/08/2008) at 08:08
The obsession with numbers is not only in China but also other cities such as Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. Do not try to compete for numbers such as 8 in each of these cities. The odds are good that you are beaten off, if your pocket is not deep enough!
Chinese figures, as the pronunciation of the linkfind the words. see you at first, it sounded like a number, then connect the words with a similar pronunciation and interpret the numbers from there.
The number 8 is very popular because it is close to 'make' the sound, which is pronounced as words such as prosperity and happiness in the language developed. As a result, when they see the number 8, will be associated with prosperity and wealth.
For the same number, the number 9 is a lucky number. It may meanenough or reach. The number 6 is popular as well as smooth and happy implied.
The number 7 is popular for some, it sounds like the word "complete." In Mandarin, it can also mean wife. So 517 could mean "I want a woman," as the number 5 sounds like "I" and the number 1 sounds like 'want'. 514, on the other side would not be popular, as the number 4 sounds like the word "death", and the numbers may suggest, "I want to die."
Not every issue can be generalized. Depends onwhether to interpret the person of one of the many dialects and Mandarin Chinese.
In addition to the sound, the numbers can also be interpreted from different angles.
For example, the number 18 is very popular. This is because the number 1 - if placed in double figures - sounds like "definitely". The number 18, which is pronounced in Mandarin shiba is "very wealthy". On the other hand, some see 18 as '1 + 8 ', which adds the number 9 lucky numberTherefore, even in high demand.
Avoid the number four won. It is thought to be unfortunate for many. This is because, as we mentioned earlier, is like death in Mandarin and some dialects sounds.
Why happiness is number 13 then?
The number 1, when placed in dozens of sounds like the word "certain" (shi) in Mandarin and Cantonese dialect, while the number sounds like three lives, home, or birth.
As a result, the number 13, which marked than ShisanMandarin said, "can definitely live" or "guaranteed growth".
So how can 13 may be an unlucky number?
