According to the Book of Odes (Shijing), Greater Odes, it is written as "built a city at Feng." The Feng River flows eastward. In the Book of Documents (Shujing), "Martial Accomplishment," it says "The King came from Shang, reaching Feng." Both instances use an earlier form of this character, pronounced feng. Later generations added the radical 'city' (yì) to form the character as it appears here, with no difference in meaning.
