Just a suggestion, but I think the page would be less misleading if it were split into dialects first then followed by its individual categories. --218.111.19.37 19:06, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This page ignores the fact that the number four is traditionally lucky in some Chinese dialects, such as Teochew. Eight is also bad luck in Chinese divination. Well that's what a Taoist priest told me.

I note that 6, 7, and 9 in Cantonese have bawdy meanings especially when used in combination.. is it possible that that is where 69 gets some of it's blue meaning in English?? the influance of cross culture effect should be included if it can be documented
