सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
The 'průvan' (draft) is a major cultural phenomenon. Czechs will often close windows even in summer if they feel a 'wind' blowing through the house, fearing it causes illness. The wind is often personified as 'Meluzína'. When the wind howls in the chimney, people used to say she was crying for her lost children and would throw a handful of salt or flour out the window to appease her. The song 'Severní vítr' is a cult classic. It's often sung at campfires (potlachy) and represents the melancholic side of the Czech character. After the Velvet Revolution in 1989, the phrase 'fouká vítr změn' (the wind of change is blowing) was commonly used to describe the transition to democracy.
