29.88

Abundant harvest (豐稔): The upper character has the fanqie *fū* + *fēng* (豐); it is the standard character. The *Zhouli* says: 'Abundant means large.' The *Guoyu* says: 'Flourishing.' The *Shuowen [jiezi]* says: 'A full ceremonial vessel (豆); derived from 豆 as a pictograph, with two 丰 and 山豆.' The scripture writes it with 曲 as 豊, which is a vulgar character; 丰 has the same pronunciation. The lower character has the fanqie *rèn* + *zhěn* (稔). Jia [Kui]'s commentary on the *Guoyu* says: 'Ripe.' The *Shuowen [jiezi]* says: 'When grain is ripe it is called *rěn*. Derived from 禾 with 念; an ideographic compound.'
