A Male Chinese Phoenix (鳳)
My surname, Feng (鳳), signifies the Male Chinese Phoenix with a crown and three-tailed feathers, while the Female Chinese Phoenix is called Huang (凰), distinguished by its lack of a crown and two-tailed feathers. My given name, Dan (眈), carries the meaning of "gazing intently like a tiger". I belong to the 35th generation of my family, with the generation name Wei (维). Our use of generation names began during the Song (宋) dynasty, around 960 AD. The history of the Feng (鳳) family traces back to the Han (漢) dynasty and original derived from the imperial family name Liu (劉) around 100 BC.
