Chinese numerology
Hey there, little one! Today we're going to talk about Chinese numerology.
Do you know what numerology is? It's the belief that numbers have special meanings and can bring us luck or help us understand things better.
In China, each number has a specific meaning and significance. For example, the number 8 is considered very lucky because in Chinese, it sounds similar to the word for wealth and prosperity. Can you say "ba" (八) like the Chinese people do? It's sort of like saying "bah," but with a short "a" sound.
On the other hand, the number 4 is considered unlucky because in Chinese it sounds similar to the word for death. Can you say "si" (四) like the Chinese people do? It's like "suh" but with an "ih" sound instead.
These beliefs about numbers can influence many things in Chinese culture. For instance, during the Beijing Olympics in 2008, the opening ceremony began on August 8th, 2008 at 8:08 pm. That's a lot of eights!
In Chinese astrology, each year is associated with a certain animal sign, and there are 12 of them. These 12 signs are also associated with the five elements (water, wood, fire, earth, and metal), as well as yin and yang. Are you familiar with any of these things yet?
So in Chinese numerology, your birth year, animal sign, element, and yin/yang balance can all have special meanings and give insight into your personality and future. It's a complex system, but it's also fascinating!
I hope that helps you understand Chinese numerology a little better. Do you have any other questions about it?
