Word source

Collecting wind initially mainly refers to collecting wind. In the Book of Changes, which is over 0/000 years BC, there are folk proverbs originating from Shang Dynasty. Most of Guo Feng and a small part of Xiao Ya in the Book of Songs over 500 years BC appeared in the form of folk songs. When people work, the folk songs sung by ordinary people are recorded in literary works, which is the earliest collection of folk songs.

With the development of the times, the definition of collecting wind has also changed differently. Nowadays, collecting folk songs refers to the behavior that writers go to a certain place to experience life and seek inspiration, collect humanistic stories to facilitate writing, and painters look for natural landscapes to become painting materials.
