The secret of 108

Originally, 108 was also a very common number. Mathematically, he is 1 greater than 107 and 1 less than 109, an ordinary natural number. It is divisible by 9 and naturally also divisible by 3. 108=2²×3³。 From a mathematical point of view, it is nowhere near as meaningful as 3.1415926 and 2.7182818. The former is pi, and the latter is a logarithm based on the irrational number e. These two numbers have played a great role in the development of mathematics. Today, it is still widely used.

So, why does the number 108 get people's likes? It has to do with Buddhism.

Buddhism believes that there are one hundred and eight kinds of afflictions in life, called the hundred and eight afflictions. The beads used in chanting the Buddha are usually 108 beads, which means that one hundred and eight kinds of afflictions are cut off, and 108 times when the bell is struck......

Over time, some people believe that 108 represents consummation. The number 108 appears in many buildings. For example, there are 108 railings on the lowest floor of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, and 108 stone railings on each floor of the Hall of Prayer.

Numbers themselves don't have any special meaning, and many meanings are attached to them. For example, the number 13 is considered unlucky by foreigners, which is related to the Last Supper, where Jesus had 12 disciples and was finally betrayed by one of them, Yuda. Therefore, 13 has become a taboo number.

The Chinese don't think so, the thirteen Taibao, the thirteen stick monks save the Tang king, and there is nothing unlucky about the thirteen here. In fact, whether it is auspicious or not has nothing to do with numbers at all.

For example, 918 is such an auspicious number, but it is precisely a shameful day, and everyone on earth knows it.
