How it's used
Describes a situation where there is both a high quantity and a wide variety of something. It is frequently used to describe meals, such as a banquet or a spread of food, where the table is filled with many different dishes. Beyond food, it is a standard way to praise someone for having a deep or diverse background in a specific field.
Examples
The dishes tonight are very rich and varied.
Is your life experience very rich?

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe someone who is wealthy in terms of money, as that would be 有錢 or 富有. Using it for financial status sounds unnatural and confusing to native speakers.
