Yifeng

Yifeng (儀鳳, November 676 – June 679) was the ninth era name of Tang (唐) Emperor Gaozong (高宗) Li Zhi (李治). It was used for 2 years and 7 months.

Before the era was changed to Tiaolu (調露), the records of the Old Book of Tang (舊唐書) and the New Book of Tang (舊唐書) state that around December of the 3rd year of Yifeng (678), the era name Tongqian (通乾) was chosen and was to take effect in January of the following year. However, because the meaning of the name was considered inauspicious, the change was cancelled. After the cancellation, the era was changed back to Tiaolu in June of the 4th year of Yifeng (679).
