Next is 有 which means ‘to have’, followed by 餘 (余) which is a surplus, or in other words, an abundance.</h1> <p><img src="http://i3.meishichina.com/attachment/201204/16/319935_1334581449mlkx.jpg@!p800"/></p> </html>

Thank you for breaking down the idiom for us! 3-) I like how you used examples to explain what it means. And what a great thought for me to go to sleep on, **"abundance year after year"**.
