During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the government was structured around the "six" concept, and the empress's imperial palace was divided into "six palaces." This inspired the beautiful line in Bai Juyi's Song of Eternal Sorrow, which speaks of the Emperor's consorts who wore the finest cosmetics but still couldn't compare to the beauty of the head-turned smile of the protagonist, Yang Guifei.
In ancient times, people also used the concept of "six kisses" to signify intimate relationships, which later evolved into the idiom "refuse to acknowledge family, but recognize the six" to represent the number in various contexts.
Other examples of the "six" concept in Chinese culture include "six desires," which refer to the attachment to sensual pleasures in Buddhism, and "six laws," "six wants," and "six colors," which were motifs used in ancient drawings.
Moreover, Chinese culture associates "six" with auspiciousness, and the sixth day of the lunar calendar, as well as the dates 16 and 26, are considered lucky for wedding ceremonies. On the other hand, "six gather" or "six quiet" symbolizes the four corners of the world, representing harmony and unity.
In pregnancy, women are said to be "pregnant," and this concept is intertwined with the "six" idea. Additionally, the phrase "66 Dashun" is a lucky phrase in Chinese culture.
