Numbers and symbols

1, the symbolic meaning of numbers is very strong, and the worship of numbers is an important phenomenon in mysterious culture. In primitive cultures and religious beliefs around the world, it is often found that some concepts or things composed of specific numbers have become the objects of worship by some people, such as "7" in Christianity and "3" in shaman culture. This kind of numbers often appear repeatedly as structural elements in religious ceremonies, myths and legends, historical and cultural interpretations and even works of art. People usually refer to these numbers with mysterious or sacred significance as mysterious language, magic numbers or pattern numbers.

2. For the ancients, numbers symbolized divinity and order, and were the mysterious factors of the harmony of all things in the universe. Philosophers of mathematics and physics in ancient Babylon, Greece and later India all thought that the study of logarithm could explain the basic principle of creation and the law of temporal and spatial changes.

3. Superstition about numbers is usually based on the traditional symbolic meaning of numbers (for example, 7 stands for mystery). The three numbers 1, 2 and 3 are connected together, which almost represent the unity, duality and composition of the world. In Pythagorean terms, 1, 2,3 symbolizes the process from point to line to surface and finally to entity.

4, pregnant with the success or failure experience of the concept of quantity. Because the ancients couldn't investigate the cause of success or failure, they often attributed it to mysterious forces. For example, an accidental three-person hunting success may induce the worship of "3" in hunting. Levi Brewer once pointed out in Primitive Thinking: "Unexpected phenomena will not surprise primitive people, and he immediately thinks that there are mysterious forces in it."

Isabella Chow, a musician of Zhou Dynasty in China, once said to Zhou Wang, "The God of mortals, with numbers, shows people by sound. Several voices are combined, and then they can be the same. " Therefore, the ancients not only grasped nature and society through the concepts of etiquette, calendar and other numbers, but also regarded numbers themselves as a mysterious force of "acting like ghosts because of changes". They like to say "ascending and descending numbers", "days" and "qi numbers", and call divination derived from knowledge "numerology" or "magic numbers".
