"5" - symbolizes 5 elements: wood, fire, earth, metal and water, which are related to the "heavenly trunks" of the Chinese cyclical calendar. That is why the five ("5") is a positive number, albeit an odd one.
"6" - the Chinese associate with happiness and business.
"7" - associated with a sense of unity, but is odd, and therefore is considered by the Chinese ambiguously, depending on the situation.
"8" is the luckiest number for all Chinese people. Sounds like "wealth" and "prosperity." The Chinese are very often willing to pay huge sums of money for a phone number, car or apartment number in which the number 8 is present. In addition, the shape of the eight resembles an infinity sign, and therefore the Chinese associate the eight with a never-ending flow of money.
"9" - associated with immortality, longevity, happiness; also a very lucky number.
