Fēng, a commonly used Chinese character, was first seen in Oracle Bone Inscriptions. The original meaning of wind is the phenomenon of air flow caused by uneven air pressure distribution. Shuowen: "Wind, eight winds also." "National Wind Zheng Feng _ XI": "_ XI _ XI, the wind blows women." As fast as the wind, as popular.

Wind has popular characteristics, such as social habits, so it is extended to customs and ethos, such as becoming popular and customs. It also extends to scenery and scenery. Also refers to folk songs, such as collecting wind. It also extends to external gestures, such as writing style, writing style, and then to wind and news. As a verb, it means to be blown clean by the wind, and emptiness is extended to education and influence.

Wind, speaking words is thought to be pictophonetic characters. From worms, every sound. According to Oracle Bone Inscriptions's "Fake Phoenix for the Wind", this is a hieroglyphic, like a phoenix bird, with a high crown and a neat tail, such as the glyph 1. Then add all the sounds, and add the beaded hair decoration of phoenix tail, such as glyph 2. The inscription on the phoenix tail is separated from the phoenix body, and moved to the phonetic symbol "Fan", such as glyph 3 (Notes on Zhong Ding Yi Qi by Xue Shanggong in previous dynasties), in which the word "Feng" in the middle of the Ten Nangong is "Figure D" and the word "Figure A" in the third is incorrect, but a comparison shows that the word "Feng" is left and the word "Figure B" is right.

The "Figure B" on the right side of this glyph is the origin of the later wind characters. If the second of the three beaded tail ornaments is omitted, it will be "Figure C", and then the lower part of the tail ornament will be omitted, which will become the writing method of Shuowen, such as font 4; If the upper part of the tail decoration is omitted, it will be written in Chu silk, such as glyph 5.
