Definition
风范 (fēng fàn) describes the admirable, dignified bearing of a person of strong character or achievement — it implies moral stature and respect. Unlike 举止 (jǔ zhǐ, neutral 'manner') or 仪表 (yí biǎo, physical appearance), 风范 highlights inner qualities. It is also more solemn than 风采 (fēng cǎi, elegant charisma).
