The Chinese have an ancient belief that some numbers can bring happiness and good luck, while others are full of negative energy. Luckiness or bad luck is due to the sound of numbers in Chinese.
Yin and yang
In Chinese culture, it is believed that chi, the life force energy, governs everything. It consists of masculine (yang) and feminine (yin) energy, and is also contained in vibrational vibrational numbers.
Even and odd numbers
Even numbers are believed to be used to represent and conserve yang (masculine) energy that is active. Odd numbers are identified with yin (feminine energy). She is considered passive and opposite to yang. The two energies combine to store chi energy.

Definition of Chinese Lucky Numbers
The way to recognize good and bad numbers was developed in Chinese culture based on the sound of numbers. Three of the most favorable Chinese numbers are considered six, eight, and nine, although the latter is odd.
Gifts with numbers
When choosing a gift in China, numbers play an extremely important role. When it comes to giving, the Chinese are again guided by the choice of a certain number.
Number two: luck in love
Two is a number that symbolizes the unification of the yin and yang energies. When these two opposing energies are balanced, understanding is achieved. Thus, the second number means a union that creates harmony. In accordance with this philosophy, the Chinese decorate the wedding with such paired items as candles, pillows, rings, gifts and other attributes. This custom is believed to bring good luck.
In feng shui practice, placing paired objects or pictures attracts the luck that number two can bring you. To ensure a happy marriage, couples are advised to place two tangerines in the master bedroom. For a couple looking to have children, the number two plays an important role in feng shui applications.
A couple of pictures of pomegranates, considered lucky fruits, will bring good luck to family people trying to conceive a child.
Another good object for a married couple is the dragon. It is recommended to place statues or hang two dragon paintings at the head of the bed to activate the procreation.
Number four: unlucky number symbolizing death
In Chinese culture, almost all numbers are considered auspicious except for the four. There are many reasons to designate numbers as lucky or unlucky. In the case of number four, everything is explained quite simply: the name of the number itself is consonant with the Chinese word for death. Therefore, it is believed that the number four has the same energy and properties.
If you live in house number 4 or your family consists of four people, then the practice of Feng Shui advises to draw a circle around the house number so that the number transforms in a circle.
Number six
The number six can help a person move calmly through life and overcome any obstacles. You can use six objects to ensure your success in navigating dangerous waters. Six Chinese coins are often tied together with a red ribbon and symbolize the welfare of the home. Sometimes they are stored inside the wallet to ensure the receipt of funds.
Number eight
Interestingly, the number eight symbolizes infinity and is considered fateful. Many people use the number eight in different walks of life to attract good luck. Some people draw a figure 8 and carry a leaflet with it in their wallets to attract financial success.
Odd numbers can be lucky
While odd numbers are not considered lucky, that doesn't mean they are always unlucky. Certain negative emotions are associated with odd numbers.
Number seven
For example, seven is a number associated with rejection and anger. It can also symbolize parting. It all depends on how and where it is interpreted.
Number nine
Nine is an odd number, which often has positive energy. The number nine is also identified with eternity and long life. It depends on how it is used and in what context it is applied.
In ancient China, the number nine was associated with the imperial court. In the imperial palace, you can find nine dragon walls. In the building of the imperial palace in Beijing, you will see 9999 rooms.
Modern Chinese people still use lucky numbers. It is no coincidence that when the Olympic Games were held in China, the date 08.08.2008 was chosen for the start of sports competitions, and 8:08:08 PM for the start time of the games.
