Some number marks carved in the potteries which were unbreathed from the XianBanpo site of five thounds years ago remains, pulled the overture of the Chinese math progress. This fact proved that Huaxia Race was the pioneer of the world civilized evolution at that time.The studying on Number mostly focused on Mathametics in the domain of the nature sciences, while neglected the double properties that it's also a specical letter, and belongs to a part of Chinese charactars. Although many morden times scholars have noticed the impoetant researching valure about Number in the domain of the human-social science, have noticed Number in philology and cultural-linguistics.
