Three

Number 3 in Chinese Culture

Chinese tradition considers Three a lucky number. There was once a man in Beijing paid $215,000 for the lucky mobile numbers of 133-3333-3333 in 2004. The first is not 3 because all mobile numbers in mainland China begin with 1. It is believed that groups of 3 in Chinese culture are even luckier. It has a meaning of more than two, many and several. For example, Confucius said: ‘Three people are walking together; at least one of them is good enough to be my teacher.’ A Chinese proverb goes that “The wisdom of three ordinary people exceeds that of the wisest individual.” Here Three means not only the exactly number, but also ‘many’ abstractly. So as in ‘San Shen Wu Ling’ (San is 3) and ‘Bing Dong San Chi’. The former means repeated orders, and the latter describes similarly that Rome wasn't built in a day. In some cases, Three represents a boundary, for example, ‘San Jia’ means the top three in a race, competition or examination. And ‘San Fu’ refers to the three periods of hottest days in a year when it is used to talk about weather.
