The Chinese love numbers and their hidden meanings
The Chinese people sure love this romantic day, as they have strong beliefs regarding numbers.
You may know how some numbers are considered lucky and some unauspicious in Chinese. Certain
number combinations also have secret meanings.
For example, did you hear of the wedding record set in China on 2012.12.12? In China, tons of
couples got married on that special day because it was said to be a lucky day for lovers. See, in
Chinese, you can pronounce 12 一二 yāo èr. (in Chinese, when talking about a phone number
or a street, 1 is pronounced yāo instead of yī). The sound of yāoèr is close to the sound of 要爱
yào ài, which means to want love. So 2012.12.12 stood for “to want love, to want love, to want
love.” What a lovely day to get married, huh?!
