I don't get 4. At least the kanji 4 looks very different

Yeaaaah, I don't know Chinese, but I've never seen a kanji of four horizontal lines, just 四 for 4

I never learned it as four lines. 四 was the way to do it. Maybe locally or something the hip kids are doing? Source: Mandarin professor ETA: I was a person of simplified Chinese though

A very Christmassy number, that 4. A Chrismas tree and the scaffolding to decorate it.
