About
The character for wind, traditionally rendered as 風, structurally integrates the component 凡 primarily for its phonetic value with the radical 虫 meaning insect, an association stemming from early observations linking airborne phenomena to living creatures. Over time, this composite form stabilized in orthography while its semantic scope extended beyond the literal movement of air to encompass metaphorical gusts such as cultural practices, prevailing styles, and circulating news. The simplified version 风 evolved from abbreviated cursive forms, condensing the graphical representation without altering the core concept, thus reflecting a natural progression in written expression where the character's applications diversified across both concrete and abstract contexts.
