盛 - Prosper
In ancient banquets, overflowing dishes symbolized Prosperity—here, a grand dish piled high as a mountain shows one has 'become' (become) successful enough to feast like nobility. The phrase 盛る (moru) still means 'to heap up,' echoing how abundance and fullness marked prosperity in Japanese culture.
