The number four (4) is a very unlucky number because the pronounciation for it sounds very similar to 'death.' In fact, in pinyin, they have the same lettering. Four is 'si' and death is also 'si.' The number twelve (12) has also been mentioned as an unlucky number by the previous person who answered this question. The number eight (8), however, is considered a very lucky number because its pronounciation is similar to 'prosperity.' Eight is 'ba' and prosperity is 'fa.'
