Fēng ("wind" 風, simplified) is a Chinese surname of Fuxi (伏羲). Unlike the much more common Féng (冯, "gallop") surname which is pronounced with the second rising tone in Mandarin, "wind" is pronounced fēng.[1]
In the third-century text Records of Emperors and Kings (Chinese: 帝王世纪), Huangfu Mi records the legend that goddess Nüwa enfeoffed thirteen tribes or states, all having the Feng surname.
In Min Nan the name is Hong, and commonly also as Fang.
