Why don't many floors have 13 floors and 14 floors? What's the taboo?

Because the meanings of the 13th and 14th floors are not good, many high-level officials will avoid this. In some places, the high-rise will change the number of floors, in order to remove those things that are not meaningful. Is this superstition? It is a bit, but it should be more of a kind of awe.

In some places, the top management will deliberately erase the 13th and 14th floors and replace them with 12A and 12B. Is this because there are 13 and 14? Want to break up? And? Die? In order to avoid it, people use other numbers instead. There are also 4 floors and 18 floors, 4 and? Die? Homophonic, the 18th floor is suspected of the 18th floor of hell. So these floors will also be taboo, but these two floors are less taboo, and more are 13th and 14th floors.

The taboo of the other 13 floors has something to do with foreign countries, and the habit of not setting up 13 floors was still there when it was in line with international standards. Thirteen is a very bad number in foreign myths. For example, there happened to be thirteen people in the last supper, and the place where Jesus was crucified was the thirteenth cross. This makes people abroad very resistant to the number thirteen, so they have the habit of not setting thirteen floors.

As far as I know, there are more hotels that are afraid of these numbers. As for ordinary houses, there are relatively few. Nowadays, many young people rarely look at this when buying a house. This has a lot to do with the hotel environment, and the special environment has created special rules.

The hotel receives people who take a break for a while, so the people in the hotel are very mixed. The more people move, the more complicated they are, the greater the probability of accidents and the more strange things. I don't believe you don't have a strange room there. In such an environment, people will be more awed by these and have more taboos. In addition, hotels are all rich people, who actually believe in this most, and it is normal to avoid more.
