Definition
风度 (fēng dù) refers to a composed, elegant demeanor that reflects a person's inner character and refinement, often used for men. It differs from 风采 (fēng cǎi), which emphasizes personal charisma and attractive bearing for any gender, and from 姿态 (zī tài), which can be physical posture or figurative attitude. 台风 (tái fēng) is specifically a performer's stage presence.
