No. 5 in Chinese Culture
Moreover, the famous Chinese Five Elements refer to Gold, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth, which are regarded as the basis of the whole world. In folklore, Chinese people hold the mutual restriction of the five elements: “wood restricting earth, earth restricting water, water restricting fire, fire restricting gold and gold restricting wood”. This mutual restriction principle is seriously stressed by the ancient Chinese people to show that everything in the world is mutually affected.
In Chinese feudal society, Five Cardinal Ethical Relationships were strictly observed, including the relationships between the monarch and his subjects, a father and son, a husband and wife, brothers, and their friends. Five Kinds of Main Grain (rice, two kinds of millet, wheat and beans) in ancient China were taken seriously because the frequent wars at that time usually resulted in a lack of food.
Wide Use of No. 5
1. Five Flavors: sweet, sour, bitter, pungent, salty
2. Five Classics in Ancient China: Classic of Poetry, Book of Documents, Book of Rites, Book of Changes, Spring and Autumn Annals
3. Five Sacred Mountains in China: Mt. Huashan in Xi'an, Shaanxi, Mt. Taishan in Shandong, Mt. Hengshan in Hunan, Mt. Hengshan in Shanxi, Mt. Songshan in Henan
4. Five Emperors: Yellow Emperor (Emperor Huangdi), Emperor Zhuanxu, Emperor Diku, Yao, Shun
In the modern society, 5 is also widely used in some internet terms and is bestowed with new meanings by the youths. For example, in 7456, 5, with its Chinese pronunciation Wu which is similar to Wo, refers to I / me. 7456 means “It even makes me mad to death”. Similarly, 7758258 means “Kiss me now, and then love me”. 555555… with its pronunciation like whimpering, imitates a person’s sad cry.
