Feng Meng

In the mythic cycle surrounding the divine archer Houyi (Yi), Feng Meng appears as Houyi's apprentice. According to the available summary sources, Feng Meng grew envious of his master's renowned skill with the bow and arrow. That envy and anger culminated in Feng Meng attacking and killing Houyi; the commonly cited detail is that he used a club fashioned from a peach tree to carry out the murder. Beyond this succinct narrative role—apprentice turned murderer—the supplied materials do not provide an extended genealogy, prior history, or later fate for Feng Meng within the mythic corpus.

The primary source material consulted does not supply a detailed physical description of Feng Meng. The only concrete physical attribute consistently recorded in the summary account is the weapon he used: a club made from a peach tree. Other particulars such as clothing, stature, facial features, or distinguishing marks are not documented in the provided sources.

Sources do not attribute any supernatural powers or magical abilities to Feng Meng; he is presented as a human apprentice whose defining behavior is violent envy leading to murder. His notable capability in the narrative is the successful assassination of his master using a peach-wood club rather than any described supernatural skill. Motivational traits recorded in the sources emphasize envy and anger as driving forces behind his actions.
