Can anyone give me examples of hidden meanings of numbers in China?
For example:
4 = 四 = 死
6 = 六 = 来
I want to know about other numbers as well!

Three means a lot in some idioms.
Chinese people like six and eight. Because six means things go smoothly,we have the idiom "六六大顺" and “六福临门”.Eight means prosperous.
