The Story of Chinese Character : 風
"風 is composed of 凡(a sail) and 虫(a creature). 凡 is a tool which can allow human being to manipulate the power of wind.
On the other hand, ancient Chinese believed that some of natural phenomena such as rainbow(虹) or mirage(蜃) were caused by some mythic creatures, so 虫 was used to describe wind. It can also be seen that 風 is the mythic creature which create wind."

Chinese character can be comical and cute if you use them creatively!
