I have high respect for all the differences in this world. No matter how strange they are, they are still the source of learning. Most Asian people have always been practicing such beliefs that were passed on from one generation to another. For instance, in Japan. Korea and China believed that the number 'four' is considered to be unlucky.
Believers claimed to be unlucky because the way of pronouncing the word 'four' is similar to the sound of death using their native tongue.
"Are the local people in your place very superstitious? Why?"
"Do you have unlucky numbers?"

True a lot of Chinese fear the number 4 the same way most Catholic Christians and other Christian and pseudo-Christians fear the number 13 and 666
but 8 and 6 is lucky to them the same way 7 is lucky to most Christians.
but 8 and 6 is lucky to them the same way 7 is lucky to most Christians.2 people like this

@Shavkat pseudo-Christian superstition are mostly taken from the bible like 666 ( from the book of revelation), 13 is the number of Judas Iscariot and 7 has many significance in the bible like the creation of the world.

@louievill I agree. Some of them had from the Holy Bible and cult members used it to spread evil deeds.

Some people consider 666 an evil number. It represents the devil.

@kobesbuddy I agree. I think the new generation made it is as their accessories or logos such as emo or people who are in gothic style. It adds up to their total outfit in the crowd with the same passion and interest.

@Shavkat Oh, I see. So maybe the root was from Chinese.

13 is not a lucky number here, I don't go anywhere on Friday the 13th because that seems to be unlucky for me.
