Number as curse: 4(sì) its pronunciation is close to 死(sǐ) which means die in Chinese Number as good luck: 6 because there is a 成语: 六六(66)大顺 which means everything will be alright ,besides there’s a popular saying among those youngsters: 666, which is used to praise someone that “you do a really good job“. 8(bā) because its pronunciation is closed to 发(fā), which often represents 发财(fā cái) means you will be rich. Numbers as love: 520/5201314 another popular saying, which mean 我爱你( I love you)/我爱你一生一世( I will love you for my entire life) also because of the similar pronunciation.

well,I think four and 13 represents bad luck here, 6 and 8 represents good luck(eight kind of means you will get rich) in general, but people around me(college students) don’t really care about this, it’s more like a social custom.For some traditional people it may be important though. And they may know more numbers.
