“三6三6三9三” / 香港園林建築之形 Hong Kong Landscape Architecture Forms / SML.20130222.7D.24340

The straight and curve lines of a wooden bench under a late afternoon sun at a park in Hong Kong.

 

The numbers 3, 6 and 9 have special numerological properties in Chinese culture.

 

+ 三: 3 sounds like the character 生 which means life.

+ 九: 9 has the same pronunciation as 久, which means longevity.

+ 六: 6 is the reverse of 9 pictographically. The two numbers 69 together forms the yin and the yang.

 

Thus 3, 6 and 9 together is a metaphor for a continually evolving long life of longevity. This is why I picked these numbers for my landline phone numbers. Although most Chinese people prefer the number 8 which sounds like 發 (fortune). Personally I prefer 6 and 9 as money for me is unimportant, but I would love to make a mark some time in history. Hopefully, maybe.
