China people don't taboo four. The number "four" is not an unlucky number in the history of China. On the contrary, it is very popular. There are four seasons in the sky, people have limbs, horns have four sides, things have four joys, things have four sides, and houses are mostly square. Four is a very appropriate number. In ancient culture, there was never any taboo against four. For example, the "quadrangle" in old Beijing, Lao She's masterpiece "Four Generations under One roof", four books in ancient books, and the complete library of four books, people pay attention to four gifts, which makes the picture sound and steady. Business pays attention to extending in all directions, describing a good climate and environment as four seasons like spring, and saying that a person who travels all over the country to do great things is called traveling around the world.
However, after the reform and opening up, the number of "four" suddenly dropped sharply. Because of pronunciation problems, people associate "four" with "death", so everyone dare not avoid "four" in life. High-rise buildings don't have "fourteen" floors, and all the numbers matched with "four" are not "auspicious", especially telephone and mobile phone numbers, which were popular for some time. Over time, 4 has become a psychological image and hint, and a specific symbol in people's daily life. Avoid if you can, and bypass if you can.
