It's the number 6. Chinese believe 6 is a number that would ward off evils and keep things peaceful. The number 666 is also considered a lucky number to the Chinese. My understanding is that Taiwan Chinese are more into this number and luck thing. I have Taiwanese friends. They usually bring a gift (commonly fruit or desert) when we invite them over for dinner. As for fruit, they always bring 6 pieces of something. They told us never to bring 4 pieces. I know the number is considered prosperity by Cantonese speaking folks. I am not sure if all Mainland Chinese are into these number games.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
