About
The character 风 simplifies the traditional form 風, a phono-semantic compound for wind. Its traditional structure pairs the phonetic component 凡 (fán) with the semantic radical 虫 (chóng, insect), reflecting the ancient belief that wind generated and moved insects. Simplification replaced 虫 with 乂 (yì) inside a new outer frame. The core meaning is moving air, but it extended metaphorically to customs, styles, and atmospheres, concepts that spread through society like a breeze.
