People often say that there are 18 floors of hell. Why is it 18 floors instead of 17 or 19 floors?

The ancient saying of the three realms, namely, the celestial world, the human world and the demon world. The underworld is also called hell. Those who do evil before their death will go to hell after their death. The more sinful people are, the more they will suffer from hell. Hell is divided into eighteen layers, and the lower the hell, the more cruel its criminal law is. Therefore, people often say that going into eighteen layers of hell is the greatest curse for people, hoping that they will die a natural death. After the integration of Buddhism and Taoism in China, hell was divided into 18 layers, and the eighteen layers of hell were divided into upper nine layers of hell and lower nine layers of hell.

The eighteen layers of eighteen layers of hell are not up and down in space, but up and down in time or ideology. For example, Confucius is often said to be knowledgeable and unfathomable. For example, in Jin Yong's novels, Gan Kun moved greatly, and the cultivation gradually progressed from 1%, 2% and 3%. Whether it's knowledge or martial arts, their ups and downs can't be displayed from space, and so can hell. In this way, it is absolutely absurd for people to put the 18th floor in the same place as the 18th floor of Hell when buying a house.

Furthermore, even according to the usual spatial hierarchy, it is a directional mistake to say that the 18th floor is hell. Eighteen floors of hell are underground in people's consciousness, while eighteen floors rise from the ground and rise above. Just like that joke, an engineering team took time and effort to build a perfect well, but in the end, the employer gave it a scolding without paying, because the construction team took the drawings upside down and the employer wanted to repair a chimney.

The 18th floor in China can be said to be completely wronged. If the floor itself is really bad, it will be called hell by some people, but in fact it has a lot of advantages. First of all, today's high-rise residential buildings are mostly around 3 floors, and the 18th floor is just in the middle, neither too high nor too low, with good vision, good air and abundant sunshine. The other 18 floors above and below are the most expensive 19 and 17 floors respectively, and the price of the 18 th floor is much more affordable; Moreover, China likes to "win a good lottery" since ancient times, and 18 is also a sought-after number in daily life, and 18 "wants to make a fortune". How can the material society make money and make a fortune without hard work! ?
