Etymology & Components

The Chinese word 丰收 (fēngshōu) is composed of two characters: 丰 (fēng) and 收 (shōu). The character 丰 originally meant "abundant" or "plentiful", and was often used in the context of a good harvest. The character 收, on the other hand, means "to gather" or "to harvest". When these two characters are combined, they form the word 丰收, which literally means "abundant harvest". This word is often used to describe a successful harvest season, and is a positive term that is associated with prosperity and good fortune.
