Drawing of Feng Yi

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 as the 28 generals of Yuntai (云台二十八将). Feng's portrait was placed in the 7th position.
