According to Chinese beliefs, the numbers in numerology are divided into ones that bring luck and ones that bring misfortune. Odd numbers - 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 are considered Yang, a symbol of the male beginning, while even numbers - 2, 6, 4 and 8 are Yin, the female beginning.
The luckiest numbers in Chinese numerology are 6, 8 and 9. 6 means that something will happen without any problems, 8 indicates unexpected luck, 9 - longevity and persistence.
The unluckiest number according to the Chinese is 4 because it is the embodiment of death. According to Buddhist beliefs, each person has 3 important stages in their life, the 4th being their death. 4 corresponds to the number 13 in the Western beliefs.
