And any language all over the world is rooted in a specific cultural background, reflecting the specific cultural contents. Numerals, being an extremely special language branch, have played crucial roles in the development of human society over thousand of years. Numerals and human life are closely related to each other. The function of numeral in human culture is not only limited in the count of mathematics, but also is a mysterious cultural symbol, which forms a unique numeral culture phenomenon. Numeral plays an important role in human cultural exchanges and development, reflecting the distinctive cultural characteristics. However, there are quite a few differences in religious beliefs, ethical psychology culture, and languages aesthetics in Chinese and westerners, so numerals have been given to the different cultural connotations in different cultural contexts, from the perspective of culture, this paper analyzes these factors to reduce misunderstandings in munication and promote the awareness of crosscultural munication.

IntroductionLanguage is an important constituent part of culture. The use of language gives an efficient expression to the culture connotation permeation, which makes the spread and expression of culture possible. In many cases, numeral is a kind of cultural symbol, which fully reflects a national multifaceted cultural features. Chinese and English are respectively from different culture systems. As a cultural phenomenon exists in all ethnic groups, it is the “mon core” part of the culture, while numerals reference in virtually meaning and expression function are quite different from each other. In the consequence, it gradually formed the cultural differences of understanding between those two languages. World famous linguist John Taylor (Nida, 2001) discovered the earliest form of culture of the religious belief is “animism” in 1871. He pointed out the origins of the “animism are mythology and religion.” What is the most important is that to some extent numerals spirit can control people’s fate. The westerners are deeply influenced by religious beliefs, they think numeral language is not only the general symbol, but also has magical power operating some certain things. So people often closely involve the numerology in their daily lives. Numeral correspondently connects with people’s concepts and is endowed with positive or negative cultural connotations. These clearly reflect the different national psychology culture. What’s more, British famous linguist Jennifer Seidl (Hu Wenzhong amp。 Du Xuezeng, 1989) thinks that “numeral and language can not be separated, you can not choose to use or not. Where there is number, there will be beauty”. Chinese scholar Wu Huiying (1990), wrote his excellent monograph about the development of culture and numbers, in which he stated “Numeral—the second generation of Chinese language.” It clearly shows the close relationship in numerals and culture. Also quite a few researchers have been made deeply exploration of numerals in culture, several of which laid the profound fundamental base on the analysis of both the individual properties in Chinese and English. China Culture Linguistics, written by linguist Shen Xiaolong (1989), can be a good example of such researches, in which the Chinese culture and linguistics were studied. Numerals Heaven and Earth, written by scholar Zhang Dexing (1999), the typical examples of this field, in which he made
