    CHINESE

    NUMEROLOGY
    Alif Fadillah ( 安辉 )
    Meidi Meuraya Zahira ( 美帝）
    NUMBER 4
    Number 4 ( 四 =sì) sounds like 死 (sǐ; to die). Because of its negative
    association with death, most people consider this number to be so unlucky that
    many buildings in China do not even have a “fourth” floor. The number 4 is also
    unlikely to appear on house/door numbers and car license plates. Whenever,
    possible, many people will also try hard to avoid choosing telephone numbers
    that contain the number 4.
    The number 4 is the unluckiest number in Chinese numerology, similar to
    the number 13 in Western countries.

    4 = 四 (sì)
    NUMBER 9
    The number 9 ( 九 = jiǔ) sounds just like 久 (jiǔ), which means "durable"
    and "eternity" in Chinese. On birthdays and weddings, the number 9 symbolizes
    a long life. The number 9 is also traditionally associated with the Chinese
    emperor. The emperor's robes had nine dragons, the nobles made in nine ranks,
    and the Forbidden City was known to have a total of 9,999 rooms.

    9 = 九
    (jiǔ)
    THANK YOU
