In the mid-4th century BC, the three families split into Jin, and Bi Si, a descendant of Bi Wan, established the state of Wei with its capital in Anyi. In 403 BC, he was recognized as a vassal by King Weilie of Zhou, and at the same time, a branch of Bi Wan's grandson Changqing was enfeoffed in Fengcheng. Fengcheng's former location is in the southeast of Yanshi, Henan Province. Therefore, Bi Wan's grandson took the fiefdom name Feng as his surname. It is the Feng surname from Henan, historically known as the authentic Feng surname.
