Biography
Feng Yi (?- A.D. 34) was a Chinese general of the Eastern Han Dynasty, who helped Emperor Guangwu of Han establish the Eastern Han dynasty. One of his greatest contributions was the final defeat of the Red Eyebrows rebels.
He was famous for his modest character; he would sit under a tree while other generals received rewards for their conquests.For this reason, he was called The Big Tree General (大树将军). Emperor Guangwu's son Emperor Ming of Han later honored 28 men who had served his father well by painting their portraits on a palace tower; these men became known asthe 28 generals of Yuntai (云台二十八将). Feng's portrait was placed in the 7th position.
