Specialist note

The number 8 has auspicious connotations in Chinese as the word for 'eight', 'pinyin', is similar to that for prosperity or wealth. In regional dialects, such as Cantonese, the words for 'eight' and 'fortune' are also similar, strengthening the lucky association of the number in the East.
