Lucky number is part of our culture
To my way of thinking, the so-called lucky number represents the characteristics of our culture. We Chinese have a tradition: whenever we have important things to do, we always select the day we think lucky. Such as: the "10.10.10" day (October 10, 2010), we regard it as the prefect day. For in our culture, “10” as a very lucky number means everything is perfect.
This tradition is gradually formed in history. As we all know, china have a very long history. The nature is very sacred then, and our ancestors try their best in order to gain its help, hoping everything run smooth. So when they were to do things, they usually choose something which indicates good fortune. As the time passes, this habit slowly becomes a tradition, and gradually expands every aspect of life. For example, Chinese people like wear the red clothes, because in our eyes the red indicates positive, smooth, prosperous.
Among this, the lucky number is the especial example. Now the number seems to appear everywhere in our daily life. Such as: our telephone number, various bank card number, ID number, VIP card number, house number and so on. The number four looked as unlucky, for its pronunciation sound as the word “death” in Chinese. So is the number seven. However, six, nine, ten are lucky numbers. Affected by this culture, most of us prefer to use the so-called lucky numbers. Therefore there are lots of couples choose the” 8.8.8” “9.9.9” ”10.10.10”day when they marry.
All in all, the lucky number is part of our culture. All things we can do are holding a respect and accept of attitude to it.。
