Figures are special kinds of language system, which reflects the scales of the material world. In the early days figure meaning showed no difference in both English and Chinese. Influenced by religion, history, social custom, some figure have been given plentiful culture connotations and implied meaning and then form figure words and figure idioms, thus figure culture appeared. My study focus on lucky numbers and unlucky numbers both in Chinese culture and English culture. We may make figure words play beneficial role in cross-cultural communication, through exploring the formation of the difference.
