What's the difference between collecting wind and traveling? Why does everyone carry the word "collecting wind" when they go out to play?

The original intention of Huazi 2285 is to collect all kinds of folk literature materials, which comes from the word "wind" in the "national style" in the Book of Songs.

In ancient times, collecting wind mainly refers to collecting wind. Folk songs are a general term, including folk songs and later proverbs. The folk songs in The Book of Songs and Han Yuefu are collected by full-time government departments during the slack season. The purpose of the collection is to understand the people's feelings, and the other is to sort out the music for use in occasions such as sacrifices and banquets that require music and dance.

China has a long history of collecting wind. As early as 1000 years BC, there were folk songs and proverbs originating from Shang Dynasty in Zhouyi. 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.

By the May 4th New Culture Movement, some scholars introduced folklore from abroad, and the meaning of the word "collecting customs" expanded, generally referring to collecting all folk creations and customs.

After liberation, people talk about collecting folk songs only by folk creation, including myths, legends, ballads, stories, proverbs, operas, rap and riddles. For example, literary and art workers go to the countryside and mountain villages to experience life, find inspiration and dig up materials.
