Western flower number taboo

(1) Flower taboo

On international occasions, azalea, carnation, chrysanthemum and other yellow flowers should not be used for guests. In Europe and the United States, if invited to a friend's home, it's a pleasure to present flowers to the hostess, but in Arab countries, it's against etiquette. Tulips are "flowers without feelings" in Germany; chrysanthemums are considered as "demon flowers" in Italy and South America, which can only be used in cemeteries and spiritual sites; in Brazil and other countries, purple flowers are generally used for funerals.

(2) Digital taboo

Judas, who betrayed and betrayed Jesus, was the 13th person to attend the last supper, and Jesus was arrested and crucified on the 13th (Friday). Therefore, people in western countries hate Judas very much and think that "13" is an ominous number.

In order to avoid the number of "13", in many western countries, the 14th floor is just above the 12th floor of a high-rise building, and the dining table No. 14 of the banquet hall is next to No. 12. And people also think that Friday is a bad day, especially when the 13th is Friday, generally no activities are held. The telephone number, car number, room number and other numbers in daily life should try to avoid the number of 13.
