Basher Posted August 22, 2012 According to the late Professor Chee Soo, who taught the various Li / Lee Family Arts. The "Internal" Kung Fu style known as "Fung Sau" or "Feng Shou" (roughly translated as "Hands of the Wind") was so called because used in self defense, your opponant shouldn't be able to see your (counter) strike coming, just feel its effect. Nice theory.  He also mentioned the Earl of the Wind was called Feng Po. With the outward appearance an old man, wearing a blue & red hat, a yellow cloak and standing on the green grass of Heaven. In his hands he held a sack and whichever direction the open mouth of the sack pointed was the direction the wind moved in. From a soft breeze to a deadly tornado.  Over the years I'm surprised that I've not seen any statues of Feng Po. But have recently been made aware that the God's name should more correctly be Feng Bo. Also, when not in human form his name is Fei-Lian or Fei-Lien. He has the horns of a Bull, a Stag's Body, a Snake's Tail, but the head of a Sparrow !   Also, it appears that he's recently been usurped by Feng Po Po, Goddess of the Wind.  My Question is, has anybody seen / got a statue or painting of Feng Bo ? As I'd really appreciate seeing a photo of one or getting some additional information on this "troublesome" God.  Cheers  Basher 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Way Is Virtue Posted August 22, 2012 This image is located on a Japanese site, but the description is 風伯神, which I believe translates as Feng Bo God. Looks like possibly a Japanese version of Feng Bo. Anyway, if you search on 風伯神, you may come up with other images.   I am guessing that you were probbaly not looking for images like this however.

The Way Is Virtue Posted August 22, 2012 This one is from a Taiwan website, but I don't know the origins of the painting, except that it is of Feng Bo: Â The webpage I found it on is here: http://content.teldap.tw/main/dc_detail.php?dc_id=2020393 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
