Chinese people tend to avoid “4” because it sounds like the word “death”, while Westerners do not like “13”, considering it unlucky. In China, “6” is a lucky number. However, in some Western cultures, it is simply a number.
In some Western countries, people try to avoid a black cat. If they see a black cat walking in front of them, they think it will bring them bad luck. However, in China, a black cat just means it is black, one of the colours.
In Western countries, white symbolises pure, clean and honest qualities. When Westerners hold weddings, the bride usually wears a white dress. In China, however, red is usually connected with such joyful occasions as festivals and weddings. But, nowadays, many Chinese brides also wear white dresses on their weddings for a change.
