According to Chinese numerology, some numbers are lucky or unlucky based mainly on how they sound.
Most numbers in traditional Chinese culture have some kind of special meaning. Below we separate those that bring good luck.
number 8
In Chinese culture, the number 8 is considered the luckiest number in China. This is due to the pronunciation of this number. The 8 in Chinese, when pronounced, sounds a lot like the term “making money” and carries the meaning of creating a fortune.
When buying a house, license plate or telephone number, Chinese people often choose the number 8 because they think it can bring them luck and success.
number 9
The number nine is a popular number in China. It signifies longevity, so Chinese couples often use this number in romantic gestures, such as getting married on September 9th and giving 99 roses in a bouquet.
Furthermore, 9 is considered the “ultimate masculinity” in Feng Shui and is the highest number on the scale. It serves as a representation of the emperor's absolute power.
Therefore, nine or a multiple of nine was often employed in designing imperial residences, as seen by the 9,999 rooms in the Forbidden City.
Number 2
how the pairs are represented by the number 2, 2 is seen as a lucky number. Chinese culture highly values harmony and balance, so even numbers are naturally preferred over odd numbers.
In a typical Chinese wedding, 2 paper cutouts (doubles) will be used to decorate the new couple's house, meaning double luck.
When people decorate their homes for Chinese New Year by hanging ornaments on both sides of their doors, the same principle applies.
