Curiosity:

Superstitious Chinese people don't like this number. In fact, it's pronunciation is very similar to the word 'death' (pinyin: si3). For this reason, telephone numbers, license plates, and so on, often don't contain the number four.

A warning: In Chinese, words are often composed by two Chinese characters, and sometimes by three or more. This page is not a dictionary.
