About

The word 风暴 (fēngbào) is formed by directly combining two independent, meaningful characters: 风 (fēng), meaning "wind", and 暴 (bào), meaning "sudden, violent, or stormy". Their combination is not arbitrary but creates a composite image where the inherent force of "wind" is intensified by the quality of being "violent" or "explosive", resulting in the unified concept of a "storm" or "tempest". This formation visually and notionally merges a natural element with a descriptor of its intensity to evoke a single, powerful phenomenon.
