Many people think it brings good luck and wealth, so you will see red decorations such as paper-cuts, couplets, and lanterns during festivals like the Chinese New Year. People think red is so lucky that they wear it during celebrations. At traditional Chinese weddings, both the bride and groom wear red. Red also has positive meanings in other cultures. 钱财；财产；财富装饰；装饰品对联灯笼；提灯婚礼；结婚庆典新娘新郎For example, a red carpet shows importance, and red roses symbolize love. However, in Western culture, red could sometimes mean loss. If a company has “red ink” or is “in the red”, it means that they are losing more money than they are earning.地毯象征；是……的象征；代表挣得；赚得Lucky numbers Certain numbers are lucky in China because they sound like other Chinese words with positive meanings. “Six”, for example, sounds like “flow”. It symbolizes things going well. The number “two” is also lucky, because the Chinese believe that good things come in pairs. “Eight” sounds like a word which means “to make a fortune”, and it symbolizes wealth. Lastly, “nine” has the same流；流动成对的；成双的发财；赚大钱pronunciation as the character “久”, which means “long lasting”. So “ nine” has come to symbolize a long life. On the other hand, “four” sounds like “death”. Some people find this number so unlucky that they avoid using it in their phone numbers. But China is not the only place with special numbers. In America, for example, “seven” is a lucky number while “thirteen ” is an unlucky number.发音；读音文字，字母，符号持久的；耐久的逐渐开始做某事；最终决定做某事另一方面avoid doing sth 避免做某事而；然而 表示两种情况的对比。1.
