Every single time Dan Feng is mentioned, hinted, or name-dropped across Honkai: Star Rail's lore because this game does a terrible job at keeping everything contained and I have the memory of a goldfish.

Since Hoyoverse despises being clear, I've color-codded three characters who appear constantly and are often referred to by pronouns or substantives:

DAN FENG
DAN HENG
YINGXING/BLADE BAIHENG

THEY SAY THAT DAN FENG ONCE BETRAYED THE XIANZHOU...

I was initially kept in the Shackling Prison after reincarnating and received a thorough education on that person's life and crimes. According to the Judges, Dan Feng craved the power of Abundance and created abominations, causing widespread havoc in the Scalegorge Waterscape. He also terminated the high elder succession of the Vidyadhara and committed one of the Ten Unpardonable Sins. Therefore, as his reincarnation, I had to bear his punishment.

After my exile, I encountered many stories about Imbibitor Lunae beyond the prison walls... Xianzhou's storytellers and immersia creators seem partial to his deeds of heroism. They wrote scripts based on the stories of him and his friends, which were widely performed. As for what kind of person he really was... To be honest with you, I can't be certain either.

Jing Yuan's note:
In different people's minds, Dan Feng may have been an avatar of Long the dragon, a hero, or an immense evil... but never a person with feelings and emotions.
