Chinese Numerology & The Mystical Lo Shu Magic Square
Chinese numerology is deeply rooted in the Lo Shu Square (洛书), a 3x3 magic square discovered over 4,000 years ago where every row, column, and diagonal adds up to the mystical number 15.
In Feng Shui, numbers carry intrinsic vibrational frequencies tied to the Nine Flying Stars and the Five Elements. Numbers are also celebrated for their auspicious phonetic wordplays in the Chinese language (e.g. 8 sounds like prosperity, 9 sounds like longevity, 6 sounds like smooth progress).
