Number 4, 5, and 6 in Chinese

These three Chinese numbers “四[sì], 五[wǔ], and 六[liù]” in sequence mean “4, 5, and 6.”

They are located around the middle way while counting from 1 to 10.

So I create a sentence based on the position feature of the three numbers.

It is dramatically designed to help to learn the vocabulary about the direction such as “front, behind, left and right” with some Chinese writing skills as well.

1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
一	二	三	四	五	六	七	八	九	十
yī	èr	sān	sì	wǔ	liù	qī	bā	jiǔ	shí

四五六[sì wǔ liù]， 看左右[kàn zuǒ yòu]， 不在前也不在后[bù zài qián yě bù zài hào]。 “Four, five and six” look the left and right, and find neither on the front nor the behind.

看[kàn] /to see; to look        左[zuǒ] /left 右[yòu] /right        不[bù] /not 在[zài] /in, at, on        前[qián] /front; before 也[yiě] /also        后[hòu] /behind; after

The Chinese sentence above has 4 features as follows:

1. The pronunciations of 六[liù], 右[yòu], and 後[hào] have similar Final sounds.
2. 不在[bù zài] is repeated in the sentence, not like linking beads. That is one kind of writing skill,“Repetition.”
3. 不在前[bù zài qián] and 不在后[bù zài hào] are created by the writing skills, “Parallelism.”
4. These three numbers 四[sì], 五[wǔ], and 六[liù] are personified to make the sentence more alive.

再见啰[zài jiàn luo]！😊
