This is my favorite word.
In Chinese it means 'Rich' and also 'Wealthy'.
But the symbolism behind this character is what I like about it.
The Top of the character represents a roof
Below that, the 'horizontal line' is the Chinese character for 'one' 一
Below that, the 'box' is the Chinese character for mouth (well really hole, but in Chinese we say mouth-hole) 口
Finally, below that is the 'box with four smaller boxes', this is the Chinese character for field 田
So overall, the character rich is "Under a roof, one mouth and one field". This is why I like this character, after all isn't that all you need to be rich, it puts things into perspective for me, every time I feel lonely or sad I remember that this one mouth of mine under this roof and all the food in my cupboard. I am rich, and what else do you need? What I really take away from it ironically, is that with so many people chasing material possessions when none of it is needed to be rich.
