2. Symbolic Meaning of the Number 11
In Chinese and Western cultures, the number 11 may carry symbolic meanings:
Positive Symboli*:

In Western numerology, 11 is a "master number" associated with intuition, spirituality, and enlightenment.
Negative Symboli*:
In some contexts, 11 symbolizes chaos or imbalance (e.g., "the eleventh hour" refers to the last moment before a deadline).
