世界各地关于好运的迷信做法

10. THE NUMBER EIGHT IS GREAT // CHINA
中国：数字8最好

Speaking the number eight in Chinese sounds similar to the word for fortune and prosperity, so people in China love anything having to do with eight. Chinese people schedule marriages on dates involving the number, and everything from flight numbers to phone numbers are more lucky if they have eights in them. With this superstition in mind, the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing started at 8:08 pm on 8/8/2008.
8在汉语中的发音跟发财和发达的“发”很像，所以中国人喜欢一切和8有关的东西。结婚日期要有8，航班号要有8，手机号要有8，任何数字有了8就更加幸运。因为这个迷信，2008北京夏季奥运会的开幕式就定在2008年8月8号晚上8点零8分。
