Nine Emperors Fortune-telling _ Nine Kings and Five Emperors

The reason why 13 is an imperial number is mainly because in ancient times, this number was only enjoyed by emperors, so ordinary people generally stayed away from this number in their lives.

As a result, this number gradually became the emperor's exclusive, because the emperor's belt was made of jade, totaling 13 pieces, and only the emperor could use this number, so it was called the royal number.

1 The five-element attribute of this number is water, which is a lucky number, representing official fortune, positive progress and successful career. 1 is the smallest positive integer in Arabic numerals, indicating the gold medal and the beginning of everything, symbolizing status, achievement and respect. The five-element attribute of the number 3 is wood, which is also a lucky number, representing wealth and talent, wealth and extraordinary talent.

There is a saying in the book Laozi: "Give birth to two, but give birth to three, and all things are three." No matter in the west or in China, the number 3 is regarded as a mysterious symbol, which hardly contains any negative meaning. So together, 13 is the imperial number.

Ancient emperors liked the number "9"

In ancient times, the number nine was a dragon, and it was often used to attach the emperor. Things related to the emperor are also related to nine. The position of the emperor is called "Ninth Five-Year Plan", and the emperor is called "Ninth Five-Year Plan".

The emperor, as the statue of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, can not do without the "Nine". He is wearing a robe of nine dragons, and the heights of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of Zhonghe and the Hall of Baohe are all nine feet. The doornails on the gate are also nine rows horizontally and nine rows vertically, totaling 998 1 piece. These are long-term symbols. Of course, the worship of Nine in the Temple of Heaven and the Forbidden City may have a deeper meaning.

"9" is also reflected in the design of ancient buildings in China. For example, there are nine doors in Beijing and nine doors in Tiananmen Square. There are nine nails on the doors (that is, there are nine rows of nails on each door). Gongwangfu in Beijing used to be the residence of Little Shenyang, and its corridors and windows were decorated with bats.

It is said that there are 9999 bats, which are homophonic "Fu", meaning long-term good luck. If you add another "blessing", it will be another "blessing", and that "blessing" is the word "blessing" hidden in the rockery of Kangxi.
