1314

Term: 1314 (Yī sān yī sì)

Definition:

1314 (Yī sān yī sì), pronounced as “yī sān yī sì,” is a numeric phrase commonly used in Chinese culture, especially in expressing affection or love. The numbers “1314” sound phonetically similar to the Mandarin phrase “一生一世” (yī shēng yī shì), which translates to “for a lifetime” or “forever.” Therefore, 1314 is often interpreted as a declaration of eternal love or a promise to love someone indefinitely.

In modern Chinese internet culture and social media, 1314 is frequently paired with the number 520 (wǔ èr líng), which sounds similar to “我爱你” (wǒ ài nǐ), meaning “I love you.” Combining the two, 520 and 1314, symbolizes the message “I love you forever” or “Forever Loving You.”
