ANSWER
In Taiwan, numerology and symbolism are important. Often given on Valentine’s Day (Feb 14) or Qixi Festival, China, (July 7), this tradition highlights the cultural importance of the number.
• The meaning comes from numerology and symbolism:
• 1 → “you”
• 0 → “nothing else / only”
• 8 → sounds like forever or prosperity in Chinese
• Together, 108 communicates: “You are my one and only, forever.”
This significant romantic gesture directly conveys deep, long-lasting commitment and translates to “Will you marry me?”, aka a marriage proposal.
