Definition
风尚 (fēng shàng) refers to a prevailing social custom or trend that is widely accepted in a society, often with a cultural or moral dimension. It is more formal and enduring than 时尚 (shí shàng, everyday fashion) and broader than 潮流 (cháo liú, a passing trend). 风气 (fēng qì) is similar but focuses on the atmosphere or common practice within a group.
