The Number 'Eight'
Among all the single digit numbers, 2, 6, 8 and 9 are the Chinese lucky numbers. Of these, 6, 8 and 9 are the most sought out. Their various combinations can be very popular when it comes to be the numbers of address, automobile license, telephone numbers, the opening day of a business and wedding dates. How to use this site: This site generate your random lucky numbers. The numbers change every time you visit. You can choose your own range of numbers (ex: 1-100) and let it generate within the range. Chinese culture has its own lucky numbers - including 6, 8, and 9 - but these are based on the fact that the word for the numbers sounds similar to other positive Chinese words, so it's more a case of good luck by association.
Eight is another Chinese lucky number. Its pronunciation is similar to the Chinese word (fa), which means ' prosperity' or 'being prosperious'.
If you have an 8 as your house number, telephone number or car license number, it means you carry this lucky number with you or you live within this lucky number. It must be very comforting if you really are into this belief.
And thinking about if you have not only one 8, but two, or three, or more, you have double prosperity, triple, even four times or more. What about eight times? Actualy, an 8888-8888 phone number was purchased by China Sichuan airline with RMB 2.33 million (about 280,723 US dollars or 177,209 UK pounds). Eight times of 'fa'.
Have you ever wondered why the opening ceremony of the 2008 Summer Olympic in Beijing was at 8pm on the 8th day of August? Notice how many 8s were in the date and time? Year, month, day and hour all are 8. Was it a coincidence? (It was said that even the minute and second are 8 too. It needs to be checked for accuracy.)
Knowing what's important to Chinese people may help your relationship with them and your business flourish. Many businesses outside of China take this into their heart and take actions accordingly. A Commerce Bank branch in New York's Chinatown had a raffle drawing for a safety deposit box with number 888. It served as part of its grand opening promotions.
