Why don’t many high-rise buildings now have 13 or 14 floors?

Careful friends will find that many high-rise housing and corporate office buildings do not have the 13th and 14th floors when taking the elevator. The reason for the above situation is that these numbers are considered unlucky or unlucky in Eastern and Western cultures. It will create bad associations.

Westerners often say that the 13th floor is taboo. Jesus had a dinner with his disciples before his death. The 13th person who attended the dinner was a disciple of Jesus named Judaism. It was this Judaizer who betrayed Jesus for 30 silver coins. Given to Judaism, this is the Last Supper where Jesus was tortured and it was really the date of the 13 people's dinner that happened to be on the 13th, and from then on 13 was considered a symbol of misfortune.

Chinese people are more taboo about the number 4 and the homophone of 14 is "death". Therefore, in order to cater to customers, some developers will use 12A12B to replace 13 and 14. In fact, many senior executives now do not have 4, 7, 13, 14, The 17th and 18th floors, 13 and 14, we have already mentioned above, and 4 and 7 represent death and death respectively, which are taboo for Chinese people, and 8 represents the 18th floor of hell. These are the so-called modern real estate Feng Shui. The crystallization of wisdom.

In fact, when choosing a floor, we should consider scientific factors and pay attention to whether the lighting and ventilation of each floor are damp, instead of engaging in feudal superstition and integrating these illogical ideas with imagination and cognition.
