Why do barrel sellers make money when the wind blows?

This is actually the result of a very interesting chain effect.

In Japan, a long time ago, there was a saying that "barrel shops make money when the wind blows", which means that "when something happens, it will have an impact in unexpected places". I heard it from my mother when I was a child. I didn't understand its meaning at that time, but I remember being surprised at that time. I saw this metaphor when I was preparing a lecture recently. Let me introduce it to you here.

Generally speaking, I think it is an interesting association, but why "when the wind blows, the barrel shop makes money" is actually very complicated, showing people a corner of Japanese life in the past.

The full text of "When the wind blows, the bucket shop will make money" is as follows:

"When the wind blows, it will raise dust; When dust enters the eyes, it increases the number of blind people. Blind people play the lyre, so the demand for cat skin on the lyre increases; There are fewer cats. There are fewer cats and more mice; Bite the bucket, the bucket shop is booming and making money. "
