Chinese Numbers: Significance, Symbolism and Traditions

For more than 3000 years, the Chinese have used numbers not only for mathematics, but also to predict the future and interpret the forces of nature. Numbers have yin and yang qualities and carry specific significance and symbolism. They represent the nine stars of the universe, which symbolizes the essence of the universe and the five elements. As numbers are also associated with the eight trigrams (the basis of Chinese divination), they are also used in Feng Shui calculations and in face and palm reading. This book will reveal how to use numbers to predict the future, as well as help readers interpret dreams associated with numbers and understand what are auspicious and inauspicious numbers.
