  The Japanese pay much attention to the luck of telephone numbers.

The bathhouses,for example,like to use 4626,because when read in Japanese,it has the same pronunciation (发音) as "have a good bath". Both the clothes shops and the butcher's like 4129 better than any other numbers because this number can either be read as " good dress" or " good meat".
