Vim installed in Cygwin does not start

I installed about 3 packages of Vim in cygwin, but when I type vi, vim, there is no error, but nothing is printed.
.bash_profile describes export PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin/vi and echo$PATH finally printed /usr/bin/vi, so I think you can pass through the path.

Can someone tell me how to solve it?

Also, when I fiddled with .bashrc and .bash_profile to set environment variables, aliases were available until now, but they were no longer available.What is the cause?

.bashrc

 alias c='cygstart'
aliasls='ls-fg --color=auto --show-control-chars'
alias df = 'df-h'
alias x = 'exit'
alias vi = '/usr/bin/vi'

.bash_profile

.$HOME/.bashrc
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin/vi

vim cygwin vi

The first misunderstanding is that setting the environment variable PATH is the directory name (where the executable = command is stored).If vi is present in /usr/bin/vi,
when set to PATH export PATH="$PATH:/usr/bin".

However, /usr/bin should be configured as a standard path, so installing Vim does not require the user to add the configuration again.Delete the export PATH... mentioned this time and verify that the command specified in the which command has passed.

$which vim
/usr/bin/vim

Also, if it is an alias to vim, it is common to configure the following settings:

 alias vi = 'vim'
