What does the activity of collecting wind mean?

Collecting folk songs refers to the specific words used by some lovers of literature, photography and other aspects in order to understand the local customs. The original intention of collecting folk literature materials is to collect the word "wind" from the "national wind" in the Book of Songs.

In ancient China, the meaning of "collecting wind" mainly refers to collecting wind. Folk songs are a general term, including folk songs and later proverbs. As early as 1000 BC, there were folk songs and proverbs in Shang Dynasty. The Book of Songs, written more than 500 years BC, contains most national styles and a small part of Xiaoya. It is a folk song from the early Zhou Dynasty to the mid-Spring and Autumn Period. They are all collected from the people. Looking through the historical anthology again, it is found that a large part of the stylistic forms of ancient poems and songs are marked with collecting styles. It can be seen that China has a long history of collecting wind.
