Why is there no 13. 14. 18 floor on the hotel floor? Why doesn't 13/ 14/ 18 have a floor? To be precise, elevators in many places don't have a fourth floor, not just the first three floors.
First of all, 4 and 14 respect the customs of China people, because in the early days, hotels with floors above 10 were all four or five-star hotels, unlike hotels with floors above 10. But people in China like homophones, such as 8= hair, 4= death, so business people and most people don't like this number, which has a bad meaning and deliberately avoids it. As a service industry, the main consideration is the feelings of guests, so many room numbers do not have 4 or 4 floors. Just to avoid it. After all, it is a business that opens the door to make money. Therefore, 4 14, 24 ... this number with 4 is usually not available in hotels. Not only the floor, but also the room number with 4.
Second, about 13. As we all know, early luxury hotels and high-end hotels were managed by Hong Kong people or foreigners, and were deeply influenced by western culture. Westerners' taboo against 13 stems from two legends:
Thirdly, it is said that Jesus had dinner with his disciples before he was killed. The person present at the dinner was Judas, a disciple of Jesus. It was this Judas who betrayed Jesus to the Jewish authorities for 30 silver dollars and made Jesus suffer. The last dinner was attended by 13 people, and the date of dinner coincided with 13. 13? Bring suffering and misfortune to Jesus. Since then,? 13? Is considered a symbol of misfortune. ? 13? Is synonymous with betrayal and betrayal. Legend has it that Jesus was crucified 13.
(Bert is Odin's son god of light. Outstanding talent, outstanding appearance, smiling. People felt very happy when he smiled. He had a nightmare and had a premonition that he would be assassinated. The gods were worried about this, so Odin sent an official to strictly prohibit all birds, animals, plants and animals from hurting Bode. But your official didn't send a message to mistletoe, because he felt that this fragile and incompetent plant didn't need to be guarded. Loki, the Vulcan, took advantage of this opportunity to make a sharp arrow with mistletoe, inciting Holder, the god of darkness, to come forward, aiming with a bow and shooting Balder to death. )
There are many such legends, which spread widely, especially the legend about the last supper, which has been deeply rooted in the hearts of western people. Finch also painted the famous painting "The Last Supper", which spread widely. So what? 13? It has become the most taboo number in the western world.
Moreover, if the 13 of a month happens to be Friday, it is a very unlucky omen, which is called Black Friday.
So 13 is managed by foreigners' hotels and Hong Kong. Even in the hands of owners who believe in certain religions, the hotel does not have this floor. In the early days, luxury hotels with more than five stars were basically managed by foreigners and Hong Kong people. Influenced by early hoteliers, later hoteliers habitually denied this figure.
Thirdly, about 18, some places have it and some places don't. Mainly depends on the opinions of the first batch of preparatory staff and bosses. Some people think that 18= to send, while others think that 18 is hell, so there is a trade-off. This is not absolute, mainly because the boss believes in Feng Shui or something. Generally, he doesn't want this floor, so he will just skip it and keep it if he doesn't care. In order to win the lottery, most hotels don't go either. So there is no 18 floor.
Finally, I want to tell you something that has not been mentioned. Generally, the internal extensions of hotels with more than five stars start with 8 and 6. For example, your room number is 807, and the extension number is 8807 or 6807 ... instead of dialing the room number directly. ...
