• Abstract: 作为数学文化的传承者、数学信息的承载者和数学教学的传递者，数字本身没有好坏、褒贬、吉凶之区分。但不同语言与文化赋予了数字不同的象征意义，数字也因此具有浓厚的民族色彩和特别的文化内涵。受民族与文化的影响，不同民族个体对数字有不同的偏爱，“此数字非彼数字”。我国少数民族众多，民族文化各具特色，汉文化尊崇双数，藏族崇单忌双。本文以藏、汉民族的数字崇拜与禁忌为例，阐释不同民族的数字文化观。
• Numbers are the basic unit of mathematics and the cornerstone of mathematical language. As a representation of the number and order of things, numbers themselves do not have the distinction of good or bad, praise or criticism, lucky and unlucky. However, with the development of language and culture, numbers’ culture with unique national characteristics has been endowed with some symbolic meanings in different language and ethnic backgrounds. People’s preference for numbers is also influenced by national belief and language worship, which enables numbers to carry more cultural information and enrich cultural connotation. China has a large number of ethnic minorities, because each ethnic group has its unique culture and belief, so the number also has a strong national color and special cultural connotation. This paper discusses the worship and taboos of numbers between Tibetan and Han nationalities, as well as their views on number culture.
