The number 4 is omitted in some Chinese buildings. Number 4 (四/肆; sì) is considered an unlucky number in Chinese because it is nearly homophonous to the word "death" (死sǐ). Due to that, many numbered product lines skip the "4": e.g., Nokia cell phones (before the Lumia 640, there is no series containing a 4 in the name), Palm PDAs, Canon PowerShot G's series (after G3 goes G5), etc. In East Asia, some buildings do not have a 4th floor. (Compare with the Western practice of some buildings not having a 13th floor because 13 is considered unlucky.)

Nine九
The number 9 (九jiŭ), was historically associated with the Emperor of China, and the number was frequently used in matters relating to the Emperor, before the establishment of the imperial examinations officials were organized in the nine-rank system, the nine bestowments were rewards the Emperor made for officials of extraordinary capacity and loyalty, while the nine familial exterminations was one of the harshest punishments the Emperor sentenced; the Emperor's robes often had nine dragons, and Chinese mythology held that the dragon has nine children. It also symbolizes harmony.
Five五
The number 5 (五wŭ) is associated with the five elements (Water, Fire, Earth, Wood, and Metal) in Chinese philosophy, and in turn was historically associated with the Emperor of China. For example, the Tiananmen gate, being the main thoroughfare to the Forbidden City, has five arches. It is also referred to as the pronoun "I"[citation needed], as the pronunciations of"I" (我wŏ, or 吾wú) and 5 are similar in Mandarin.
Seven七
The number 7 (七qī) symbolizes "togetherness" in Chinese. It is a lucky number for relationships. It is also recognized as the luckiest number in the West, and is one of the rare numbers that is great in both Chinese and many Western cultures. It is a lucky number in Chinese culture, because it sounds alike to the Chinese word 起(qǐ) in Mandarin meaning arise, and also 气(qì) meaning life essence. In Cantonese it sounds like the verb "to leave" which adds emphasis.
Master Meng Ke
Master Meng was an adherent of the Confucian tradition transmitted by Zisi 子思 (Kong Ji 孔伋), a grand-son of Confucius(Kongzi 孔子), and lived in the mid-4th century BCE (the dates range from 385-304 to 372-289), during the Warring States period 战国 (5th cent.-221 BCE). Mengzi, courtesy name Ziyu 子舆 or Ziju 子居, hailed from the small state of Zou 邹 (modern Zouxian 邹县, Shandong). His father died when he was still a child. Mengzi's mother (called "Meng Mu" 孟母) is traditionally venerated as an example of excellent virtue. She moved their home three times to live in a better neighbourhood, and it was herself who taught the young Meng Ke the first lessons of virtual behaviour. Mengzi traveled from court to court and served the rulers of the states of Qi 齐 and Wei 魏, and those of the smaller states of Teng 滕, Xue 薛, and Song 宋. In Wei 魏 (at that time called Liang 梁) he served King Hui 梁惠王 (r. 379-335). Unfortunately most lords appreciated the teachings of thelegalist or military advisers, who suggested strengthening the state by a powerful central government, while Mengzi's teachings of a benevolent and human government seemed too theoretical for them. He was at least able to gain the confidence of the kings Hui of Liang and Xuan of Qi 齐宣王 (r. 342-324) for some time.
Mozi 墨子 “Master Mo” and the the Mohist Canon (Mojing 墨经)
The Mozi 墨子 "Master Mo" is a book compiled by the early Warring States period 战国 (5th cent.-221 BCE) philosopher Mo Di 墨翟 (ca. 476- ca. 390 BCE). He was probably born into a noble family in Song 宋 (with the name Muyi 目夷 or Motai 墨台) but lived the very common live of a wandering advisor and traveled from state to state. He served the rulers of Song, Lu 鲁 (where his family had lived for some time), Wei 卫, Qi 齐, Chu 楚 and Yue 越. There is one story that Mozi traveled day and night to reach the court of King Hui of Chu 楚惠王 (r. 488-432) to prevent him from beginning a conquest war against Song. He presented a memorial to the king of Chu but refused to be rewarded, and left. This story includes two of Mozi's main philosophical concepts, not to wage offensive war, and to refrain from luxury. In Qi he tried to stop Xianzi Niu's 项子牛 planned attack on Lu, but Mozi did not succeed. When the king of Yue offered him an office and a fief, Mozi brought forward the condition that the king would follow his advice. It is also known that he had a friendship with Lord Wen of Luyang 鲁阳文君, a nobleman of Chu.
