During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, although several talented people were recorded in the history books, Feng's surname was somewhat inferior to other most popular surnames. At least, in the noisy situation at that time, it seems that people surnamed Feng never played an important role of "independence".
However, this surname spread very quickly. During the Han and Tang Dynasties, it originated in Shaanxi and spread to Henan, Hebei, Shanxi and even Fujian. After Feng's descendants moved to these places, they actually performed very well in As You, and they were very proud of their dissatisfied ancestors.
At present, there are many factions of Feng surname, which are roughly as follows according to the record of "A Survey of Surnames":
The Feng family of Yingchuan is a descendant of Feng Yi, the general of the Western Expedition of Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Feng Yi is a famous "general tree". He fought for Emperor Guangwu and crusaded against Xiongnu, and made great achievements in the military. Later, Yang was named Xiahou, which was very successful.
Shangdang Feng's family is a descendant of Han Zuo's general Feng. Feng is also a great general. Xuan Di, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, proclaimed himself emperor, once sent envoys to the western countries and defeated shache and other countries successively. Later, he was named Shanhaiguan Hou for breaking Qiang.
Moreover, the surname Feng of Changle, Fujian Province is a descendant of Hou Fengshen in Yidu; Jing Zhaofeng is a descendant of the Prince of Yan. From Hongnong (Henan Province), Hou Fengning, the secretariat of Ningzhou in the Western Wei Dynasty; Hejian (Hebei province) people are descendants of Feng Shigu, the governor of the Tang Dynasty.
Such a clear textual research on family origin and clear context is still rare in surnames. People surnamed Feng are really luckier than others.
Among the famous Feng figures in history, there is a well-known Feng Dao. He is a man of five generations in troubled times. He was the prime minister of Tang, Jin, Han and Zhou, but his position was extremely prominent. However, his behavior of ignoring the loss of power and humiliating the country was despised by future generations. However, in terms of talent alone, Feng Dao is a generation of gifted scholars.

First, the origin of surnames
Féng's surname comes from three sources:
1, from Ji surname, is Chang Hou. According to Yuan He Shi Dian and Han Shu, Bi Wan, the descendant of Gao, the son of 15, was a doctor in Jin in the Western Zhou Dynasty. At that time, many small countries were destroyed successively, and one of Bi Wan's grandchildren was sealed in Fengcheng. Later, descendants took Yi as their surname and called Feng. History says that Feng is authentic. It's for the Feng family in Henan.
2, from Guixing, after Feng Jianzi. According to Shiben, during the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a doctor named Feng Jianzi in the state of Zheng, who was named after having a fief in Feng. Later, Feng Yi was captured by the State of Jin and became the fief of Changqing, the son of Wei, whose descendants were also called Feng. It's for the Feng family in Henan.
3. There are other Feng surnames, such as: those who came out of Yingchuan, after Feng Yi, the general of the Western Han Dynasty; After leaving Shangdang, the left general Feng; People who leave Changle should be after Shen Feng. Out of Beijing is Queen Hongfeng of Rebecca; Hongnong followed Feng Ning in the Western Wei Dynasty. After leaving Hejian, Tang supervised the suggestion.
Feng's ancestor. A descendant of Chang, he had a son named Bi. Together with his brother, he made great contributions to conquering Yin. After he won the world, he was sealed in Bi (southwest of Chang 'an County, Shaanxi Province). His descendant Bi Wan was a doctor in the State of Jin in the Western Zhou Dynasty. At that time, the State of Jin had just been unified by Quwowude's office, moved its capital to Jiang (now southeast of Yicheng, Shanxi Province), destroyed many small countries around it, including Wei, who was enfeoffed in the north of Ruicheng, Shanxi Province in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and gave it to Bi Wan. In the late Spring and Autumn Period, the six parts of the Qing Dynasty in the Jin Dynasty gradually became stronger and merged with each other. By the middle of the 4th century AD, Bi Wan's descendants, together with Zhao and Han, carved up the State of Jin, established the State of Wei and established Anyi (now northwest of Xia County, Shanxi Province). In 403 BC, he was recognized as a vassal by King Weilie Zhou, and at the same time, one of Bi Wan's grandchildren (Feng) was sealed in Fengcheng (now southwest of Xingyang County, Henan Province), and his son's grandson named Feng after Cheng. Feng was revered as the ancestor of Feng by later generations.
Second, migration distribution.
Feng, a native of Xingyang, Henan. The Feng family has been growing since its surname. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a South Korean joined the Party, entered Zhao for defense, and refused Qin to die. Since then, his descendants have scattered in Shangdang Luxian County (now northeast of Lucheng, Shanxi Province) and now Hebei Province, and most of them are state leaders, and their families have gradually prospered. In the pre-Qin period, Feng had migrated to today's Shandong. When he arrived at Emperor Wendi of the Western Han Dynasty, Feng Tang, surnamed Feng, got a car and moved to Anling (now northeast of xianyang, Shaanxi Province). His brother moved from Shangdang to Jingzhao Ling Du (now southeast of Xi, Shaanxi Province), and both of them became prominent local families. Before the Three Kingdoms, people named Feng had migrated and developed, and had already distributed in Shanxi County, Shaanxi Zibo, Sichuan Shehong, Zhongjiang, Quxian County, Hubei Public Security and other places, with a large population and gradually prospered. At the same time, another Henan Feng surname was widely distributed in Neihuang, Baofeng, Jiaozuo, Nanyang, Anyang, Tanghe and Huyang, among which Huyang Feng surname became a famous family at that time. During the Three Kingdoms, the Jin Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, countries attacked each other and wars continued. At this time, it was difficult for all clans to develop steadily and form the hope of a big county. Just in a state of constant migration, Feng is no exception. Due to years of war and the Yongjia Rebellion in the Western Jin Dynasty, the Feng clan also moved southward on a large scale, and entered Jiangsu, Anhui, Jiangxi, Zhejiang and other places, where it flourished and developed, forming some famous ones. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, with the economic development and social stability and prosperity, the Feng family began to develop on a large scale, and a large number of celebrities and senior officials appeared in the economic, political and cultural fields, forming many famous families, which promoted the expansion and spread of family power and made the Feng family enter a peak of development during this period. At the same time, due to the war in the north at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the war between the five dynasties and ten countries, and the repeated invasions by foreigners in the Song Dynasty, the Feng clan moved southward twice on a large scale in the Tang and Song Dynasties, leaving the Feng family scattered in a vast area in the south of the Yangtze River. During the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Feng clan developed further, migrating to Guangdong, Fujian, Taiwan Province and other places, and some of them spread abroad, making Feng the most popular surname in various regions of China. Today, Feng is widely distributed in China, mainly in Guangdong, Henan, Hebei, Jiangsu, Shandong, Yunnan and other places. Feng is the 27th surname in China with a large population, accounting for 0.64% of the Han population in China.
