Why does 风 look like this?
The outer part '几' (table/enclosure) represents a sail or a container for air, while the inner part '乂' is a simplified version of '虫' (insect/creature). Ancient Chinese people believed that the wind caused insects to appear, but in this modern form, it looks like a swift movement captured within a frame!
