1．Introduction
1.1 Background Information
With the development and globalization of society and economy, people all over the world have more communication and understanding. Many foreign visitors can not help but exclaim that the Chinese are really creative, and can line up numbers up so “auspiciously.” However, judging by our Chinese, people from the outside world may totally have a different cognition to the omens of numbers. For example, “6” is an auspicious number in China, and since the ancient time, Chinese people have advocated the number “6”. However, in the west countries, “6” is not a popular digital.
Despite the fact that there is a vast body of literature on intercultural communication, offering a wealth of observations and views of the subject, a forceful and unified theory of the omens of numbers is still lacking.
