the lucky number in China i've heard most chineses love 8 and its considered as the lucky number. and the reason why its loved by many is because of the pronunciation which sounds like money in chinese. then the luck ( 8 means) is all about money? or it means all of good things that happen to people, that do not come from their own abilities or efforts? i want to know which one is more similar haha

The number eight is considered to be a lucky number in Chinese and other Asian cultures.[6] Eight (八; accounting 捌; pinyin bā) is considered a lucky number in Chinese culture because it sounds like the word meaning to generate wealth . Also if you turn it 90% degrees it is infinite :P

In China, we have different lucky numbers in different areas. But in general, 6 and 8 are most considered lucky numbers. In China, we have an idiom called "六六大顺", it means 6 presents smooth going, it's a wish. Also, "8" pronounces like "发". It means you will live a better life not just about money. Hope it will be helpful

6 is considered as the lucky number as its pronunciation is close to 顺(means dealing with something without any problems), while 8 is beloved by many people because its pronunciation is similar to 发(means earning lots of money)

Chinese there is a phrase called "six six," Dashun "luck is 6" instead of "8"
