6

6, for me at least, is a lucky number and it is actually a perfect number seeing as the answers of both 1 + 2 + 3 and 1 x 2 x 3 is 6.

In China this number is considered lucky and is valued as it is associated with smoothness, stability, happiness and luck. Not only that but in Mandarin this number sounds similar to fluid and seen as good for business due to this. In Cantonese 6 is a homophone for blessings.

Elsewhere the number 6 is considered lucky as it is the highest number on six sided dice, but also is said to symbolize balance, love and health. 6 also symbolizes labour as Genesis says that the world was created in six days. The Star of David has six points which is said that represents God’s rule over the universe in six directions.
