① Numbers are not just numbers. They have some meanings (意义). Let's see some of the lucky (幸运的) and unlucky numbers in the world.
②As for the number 3, people in Sweden think all good things come in threes. But people in Japan don't think so. They don't like taking photos when there are only 3 people. They think something bad will come for the one in the middle.
③Chinese people don't like the number 4 because it sounds like Chinese pinyin "si". But people in Australia love this number. They think four is the top pick for them to get new phone numbers or room numbers.
④In China, people think the number 6 means everything goes well. During the Spring Festival, many parents give 666 yuan to their children as gift money. But the number 6 is not welcome in most English speaking countries (国家). So it's not good to use 666 when you talk with your friends from UK or USA.
⑤The number 9 also has a good meaning. It sounds like Chinese pinyin "jiú", meaning a long time. In Norway,nine is a lucky number, too. There are many nice stories about it. But people in Japan don't like it. When they say it in Japanese, it's just like the word "ku".
⑥Some people think the sounds of numbers have nothing to do with their meanings and lucky numbers are just for fun. In my eyes, if (如果) some numbers make you feel lucky, just use them as you like. But don't forget to work hard at the same time. I think it's the hard work that can always bring people good luck, not only the numbers themselves.
