　　 occident People think that 13 is unlucky and should avoid them as much as possible. Even 13 days per month, some people will feel uneasy. And people also believe that Friday is unlucky, especially when it comes to Friday on the 13 day. The numbers in daily life, such as door number, hotel room number, layer number, banquet table number and car number, try to avoid the 13 figure.

The same is true in our country. If we encounter "four" and do not say no, the taboo people often say: "two pairs" or "two two" instead; in addition, the "Nine" pronunciation in Japanese is similar to "bitter", so it belongs to the same category.
