Interpret the meaning of the number "nine";

In the concept of ancient people in China, odd numbers are yang, even numbers are yin, and the largest number in odd numbers is "nine" and "nine is one", so the ancients paid special attention to the number of "nine" and thought that "nine" could represent the highest yang.

The preface to "Nine Discernions of Chu Ci" says: "Nine is the number of Yang, and the discipline of Tao is also"; The classical Chinese "The Book of Changes" said: "Xuan Qian used nine, which is a matter of perception." The ancients also used odd numbers to symbolize the sky, and even numbers to symbolize the earth, and regarded "nine" as the symbol of the sky, so there were "nine days", "nine days" and "nine clouds". The Forbidden City is called "Nine Days in the Palace Que", and the palace objects are also named after "Nine", such as kowloon cup, Nine Dragon Walls and Nine Peach Pots. The emperor's birthday is called "99 Celebration".

The reason why "Nine" is respected by people is not only the above reasons, but also because in the traditional culture of China, "Ten" is a perfect number, and things will be extremely negative, full will overflow, and extremely prosperous will decline. Therefore, "nine" is an upward trend forever, so "nine" is the supreme number and is favored by emperors.

In addition, "nine" is also homophonic "long", which has a very long meaning. The folks take "Nine" as the highest realm, and always say ninety-nine, such as "Take a hundred steps after dinner and live to ninety-nine" in order to live longer.
