Eight
The word for "eight" (å «ï¼æ) in Chinese (Pinyin: bÄ) sounds similar to the word which means "prosper" or "wealth" (å - short for "åè´¢", Pinyin: fÄ). In regional dialects the words for "eight" and "fortune" are also similar, eg Cantonese "baat" and "faat".
There is also a resemblance between two digits, "88", and the shuang xi ('double joy'), a popular decorative design composed of two stylized characters å (xi, 'joy', 'happiness').
Telephone number 8888-8888 was sold for USD$270,723 in Chengdu, China.
The Summer Olympics in Beijing are scheduled to open on 8/8/08 at 8:08:08 p.m.
A man in Hangzhou offered to sell his license plate reading A88888 for 1.12 million yuan.
Dragon Fish Industry in Singapore, a breeder of rare Asian Arowanas makes sure to use numbers with plenty of eights in their microchip tag numbers. and appears to reserve particularly numbers especially rich in eights and sixes (e.g. 702088880006688) for particularly valuable specimens.
Nine
The number 9 (jiu) sounds like the word for "longlasting" (ä¹ pinyin jiÇ).
