How to remember 丰

丰 (fēng) is a picture of an ear of grass: one vertical stalk 丨 running through three crossing strokes 三, like a plant heavy with growth. A stalk loaded with grain means a good, abundant harvest.

丰 rarely appears alone in modern Chinese. It mostly shows up in words like 丰富 (fēngfù) and 丰收 (fēngshōu), describing things that are rich, full, or plentiful. Example: 他的经验很丰富。(Tā de jīngyàn hěn fēngfù.) He has a lot of experience.

Common mistake: Learners often confuse 丰 with 丯 or write the vertical stroke too short, but in 丰 the vertical 丨 must cut all the way through the three horizontal strokes. Also keep the first tone: fēng, the same sound as 风 (fēng, wind), so context decides which one is meant.
