More about the number nine
Nine (? pinyin jiu() is considered a good number in Chinese culture because it sounds the same as the word "longlasting" (? pinyin jiu(). The Japanese consider 9 to be unlucky, however, because it sounds similar to the Japanese word for "pain".
Nine is strongly associated with the Chinese dragon, a symbol of magic and power. There are nine forms of the dragon, it is described in terms of nine attributes, and it has nine children.
In Thai, the word for nine, 'gao', is the same as the verb for 'to develop or progress'.
