'''Phoenix Legend''' ({{zh|s=凤凰传奇|zh|t=鳳凰傳奇|p=Fènghuáng Chuánqí}}) is a [Chinese](/source/C-Pop) popular music duo, consisting of female vocalist [Yangwei Linghua](/source/Yangwei_Linghua) ({{lang|zh-hans|杨魏玲花}}) and male vocalist [Zeng Yi](/source/Zeng_Yi_(singer)) ({{lang|zh-hans|曾毅}}). Their music blends folk music with rap and hip hop elements. In May 2012 Phoenix Legend was reported in the [China Daily](/source/China_Daily) as having sold more than 6 million albums in China since 2005, and 10 songs from four of their albums have recorded one billion online hits.[{{Cite news|url=http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/entertainment/2012-05/17/content_15320888.htm|title=Phoenix Legend soars in international skies|work=[China Daily](/source/China_Daily)|date=17 May 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120905175113/http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/entertainment/2012-05/17/content_15320888.htm |archive-date=2012-09-05 }}][{{Cite news |last=腾讯网 |date=2022-02-13 |title=成团23年稳坐顶流，中国最传奇组合_腾讯新闻 |trans-title=The most legendary group in China, which has been at the top for 23 years

Their song "Above the Moon" ({{zh|s=月亮之上|hp=Yuèliàng Zhī Shàng|links=no}}) brought them national attention after they performed it on the television show ''[Star Boulevard](/source/Xingguang_Dadao)''.
Songwriter [Zhang Chao](/source/Zhang_Chao_(songwriter)) has also written three popular songs for the group, including ''The Most Dazzling Folk Style'' and ''Moon Over the Lotus Pond''.
== History ==
In 1999, the duo first formed a group called ''Cool Fire'', singing mostly Korean and American pop songs. Songwriter [He Muyang](/source/He_Muyang) heard Ling's voice on TV in 2003 and rewrote ''Above the Moonlight'', a sentimental song he wrote in 1999 for the duo. In 2004, the group signed a contract with ''Peacock Bluehead'' and the song became a hit in 2005, after the group toured more than 20 universities in China.
In 2009 the duo had a major hit song entitled ''The Most Dazzling Folk Style'' ({{lang|zh-hans|最炫民族风}}) (also translated as ''The Hottest Ethnic Trend'' or ''The Coolest Ethnic Trend''). The same year they joined the Art Troupe of the [Second Artillery Corps](/source/Second_Artillery_Corps), with the duty of entertaining soldiers in the [People's Liberation Army](/source/People's_Liberation_Army)'s nuclear weapons units.[{{cite web|title=Second Artillery Corps Art Troupe: Phoenix Fantasy do not have a specific military rank [二炮文工团艺人：凤凰传奇等曾特招入伍无具体军衔]|url=http://cnibtimes.i.sohu.com/blog/view/258963036.htm|work=International Business Times|publisher=Sina|accessdate=3 June 2013|author=Geng Yang|language=Chinese|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130630082247/http://cnibtimes.i.sohu.com/blog/view/258963036.htm|archive-date=30 June 2013|url-status=live}}]
The duo has gained some recognition outside China. ''The Most Dazzling Folk Style'' ({{lang|zh-hans|最炫民族风}}) was used by cheerleaders during an [NBA](/source/NBA) [Houston Rockets](/source/Houston_Rockets) game in April 2012 and also become an Internet sensation after being remixed and re-edited by fans.{{cn|date=July 2020}}
