The Chinese word for wealth, 财富 (cài fù), is a compound of two characters: 财 (cái), meaning "wealth" or "money", and 富 (fù), meaning "rich" or "abundant". The character 财 is composed of two parts: 贝 (bèi), which is a pictograph of a cowrie shell, which was used as a form of currency in ancient China, and 才 (cái), which means "ability" or "talent". The character 富 is composed of two parts: 宀 (mián), which is a pictograph of a roof, and 畐 (fù), which is a pictograph of a field. Together, these two characters convey the idea of wealth and abundance, as a roof over one's head and a field to cultivate are essential for a comfortable life.
