Lucky 8
So, why is the number 8 considered lucky in the minds of Chinese people. The main reason has to do with the pronunciation of the word for the number 8 in China. It is pronounced “ba” and sounds like the word for prosperity which is pronounced “fa”. Another reason why the number 8 could be considered lucky is because it is a perfect symmetrical shape. You can cut the number 8 in half vertically or horizontally, and both halves mirror themselves perfectly. Perfect symmetry lends itself to perfect balance. In Chinese Astrology, perfect balance is considered the ideal.

The figure 8 is infinity stood on its head… interestingly, the square of 8 is 64, and when you add up the digits, it is 10! Which is what I rate this art :)

Tone you make this all look so easy….new respect i…number 8 i knew much, yet not how chinese thought, how marvelous….to i it represents the ever eternal pattern in ice skating, or life, just remember an art professor telling me long ago. if one draws in circles they get stuck in circles…..well i do not think he would say this of your works. beautiful Tone word and creation, and i learned something new…who knew…..) eh mon
