142857, also known as the number of lanterns. It was found in the pyramids of Egypt. This is a magical number. It proves that there are seven days in a week, and it accumulates itself once, so its six numbers rotate in turn.

When 142857 is multiplied by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 respectively, the numbers 142857 will have different combinations, but when 142857 is multiplied by 7, it can fully prove that the first six digits are on duty in turn seven days a week.

The luckiest number is 4

In recent ten years, China people seem to be more and more taboo about the number 4, because it is homophonic with "death". But this homonym is a bit puzzling. Not at all comparable to Mandarin. One tone is disyllabic and the other is trisyllabic. This difference in tone is ridiculous. This fallacy originated from the dialect pronunciation of a place in modern South China. If the dialect pronunciation is not accurate, 4 and "death" can easily be pronounced the same.

A large number of ancient geomantic literature combed the etiquette, customs and traditions in the north and south of China, and never found that "four" was an unlucky number. In fact, 4 is an auspicious number specially selected by our ancestors from 10 since ancient times. Since ancient times, there has been a saying of "four happiness" in China folk customs, which is often associated with wealth, luck and good luck without any disaster.

The Chinese character "four" is a small "child" surrounded by railings, protected like a baby, flat and steady, which means that the square house is full of children and grandchildren and the population is prosperous. The first requirement for building a house is "stability", so "four" has been an auspicious number for a house since ancient times.
