This surname can be traced back to the descendants of Shennong in ancient times and is called the teacher of the Yellow Emperor. In the Xia Dynasty, the descendants of Shennong were given to their ancestors, which is today's ancestral pavilion in Henan. Later, people called him "Feng Ju" and established a father-sealing country. Later, when the country of the father was destroyed, the adherents also divided into two surnames, one was Feng Fu's and the other was Feng's.
There are also many people who changed their surnames from ethnic minorities, including Xianbei and Manchu. Especially during the reign of Emperor Xiaowen in the Northern Wei Dynasty, this tribe in Tuoba changed its surname to Ben because of Emperor Xiaowen's localization policy. In the Sui Dynasty, it developed into a noble family. In the end, many descendants took Feng as their surname and formed a modern Luoyang surname.
