Do the number of bamboo stalks have meaning?
YES! Chinese numbers are either Yin (even numbers) or Yang (odd numbers. The Yang or odd numbers are considered the most fortunate of all. The total number of stalks in your Lucky Bamboo arrangements is very significant. The explanations show below are for the Prevailing/Growing Cycle of Yin and Yang.
Meaning of “YIN” numbers: Yin represents the feminine side – it embodies the nurturing nature of earth. Yin is “fluid” in that it contracts and condenses, sensitive to changing temperatures, atmosphere, sensitive to emotions. It represents also the passive side of nature such as dark, cold and wet.
2 = Double luck, happy relationships; good number.
4 = Academic achievement, creativity, writing, Romance
6 = Easy money, wealth, good flow of luck.
8 = Good luck and fertility. Very popular.
10 = Completeness and fulfillment in life.
Meaning of “YANG” numbers: If you have a feminine side, you gotta have the male side to go with it. Yang represents the masculine side of nature. It expands, representing activity such as light, heat, and aridity. Yang stands for living, life, action. Yang is the bringer of life – in human form, masculinity is responsible for planting life in Yin; thus Yin is the nurturer providing the necessary elements for life to grow and protecting it.
1 = Simplicity and a meaningful life.
3 = Good for prosperity and fertility. If used with a curly (money) stalk in the middle, it means wealth. Very popular.
5 = Happiness, good and balanced luck in all aspects of life. Very popular.
7 = Good luck and prosperity in relationships.
9 = Good health, prosperity and love life.
11 = Good all-around luck. Very popular
