The Number 'Nine'

Nine is one of the Chinese lucky numbers. 9 sounds like Jiu in Chinese Mandarin, sharing the exactly pronunciation of another Chinese word , which means 'long lasting'. It's especially good and lucky for weddings and birthday parties. In a wedding, it means that the couple would be happily together forever; in a birthday celebration, it means longevity.

The number 9 has been holding a high place in Chinese people's heart. They refer the heavens as '9 heavens' with names such as Jiu Tian, Jiu Xiao and Jiu ChongXiao; China is also mentioned as Jiu Zhou by the learned sometimes.

There are only ten one-digit numbers and 9 is the highest one among them. All the other numbers are formed by the combinations of the ten basic numbers.

(This is why that the Double Nine Festival is also called Chongyang. Chong means double.)
