Significant Chinese Numbers?

What numbers (and especially time periods) are significant in Chinese myths/fairytales? For example, in Western culture, the numbers are 3 and 7--three brothers, three years of a quest, seven years penance, etc.

The article is not great, but you should be able to pull out some tidbits:

Also check I Ching and Feng Shui resources - they should point to some similar things.
