Fengli(simplified Chinese:Phong li;traditional Chinese:Phong li / phong li;pinyin:fēng lí,[a]literally 'wind leopard cat') is a legendary or mythified flyingmammalof China, whose descriptions from various sources were collated in theTaiping Yulanencyclopedia (10th century ) and theBencao gangmu(16th century) compendium ofmateria medica.

It is calledfūriby Japanese sources dating back to theEdo period.

Overview[edit]

The beast is described as resembling a dark-colored or blue-green (or greenish yellow and black) animal spotted like a leopard but smaller, about the size of a wildcat (leopard cat) ormarten.Alternate sources say the beast resembles a vanishingly short-tailed monkey, or a rabbit. It is capable of flying or gliding across trees or jutted rocks, eating fruits. Sources say that its aliasfengshengshoufavors eating spiders.

Thefenglibears a number of other aliases, includingfengmu(Phong mẫu;Phong mẫu;fēng mǔ;Japanese:fūbo,[3]literally "wind mother" ),fengshengshou(Vui vẻ thú;Vui vẻ thú;fēng shēng shòu,[b]),pinghou(Bình hầu;píng hóu,[c]'flat monkey'), etc.

A collated account of thefengliis given in theBencao gangmu(1596), under its "Four Legged Animals II" section, but it misstates some alias names and work titles, drawing from such sources as the entry for "fengmu"in the encyclopediaTaiping yulan(c. 980).

The beast lore could have been based on actual fauna; thefenglimay in fact have been thecolugoaccording to one hypothesis, or apalm civetor aslow lorisaccording to others.

Thefenglihas a number of lore attached to it. It is said to carry a magical wand (or a broken stalk of grass), which when pointed at a prey can cause it to fall off a tree (cf.§hunting wand). It is also said to die easily by striking, but such death is feigned, and it will revive momentarily upon receiving wind upon it. It is supposedly immune to cutting by blade, or burning by fire. But plugging its nose with thesweet flag(root portion) was considered lethal to it. Otherwise, only by rupturing its brain and breaking its bones could it be killed completely.

Its urine purportedly was effective againstleprosy,according to the old Chinesepharmacopoeia.

Thejiqu(狤𤟎;jí qū), which reputedly ate perfume (Indian frankincense,ormastic) was described as a separate beast in the original source, but has been equated with thefengliby theBencao gangmu.

Nomenclature[edit]

The beastfengli(Phong li;Phong li[4]/ phong li[5]), literally 'wind leopard cat',[6]is described under that title in theBencao Gangmu(1782)[1596]. Thefengliarticle was originally a sub-article within the precedingleopard catarticle.[7][8][d]

The creature's name is pronouncedfūriin Japanese, but (erroneously) glossed askazetanuki(Phong li /かぜたぬき)or 'windracoon dog' in theWakan sansai zue,[11][12]due to the fact thatli(simplified character:Li) is commonly read astanukiby the Japanese.[14]

Aliases and sources[edit]

A number of aliases forfengliare given in theBencao Gangmu,one of them beingfengmu(Phong mẫu;Phong mẫu;fēng mǔor猦𤝕[16],literally “mother of wind”[17]),[5][18][6]which is the heading used in theTaiping yulanencyclopedia.[19][e]

Thefengliname has its original source in the [Guihai]Yuheng zhi([ quế hải ] ngu hành chí;"Treatises of the Supervisor and Guardian [of the Cinammon Sea]" )[f][21]and referred to aswind catin an English translation from this source.[22]

Thefengmualias can be sourced to theNanzhou yiwu zhi(Nam Châu dị vật chí;~ dị vật chí,"Records of Extraordinary Things from Nanzhou", miscited as theGuangzhou yiwu zhiQuảng Châu ~;Quảng Châu ~),[20][23]and these "Records" also provide the aliaspinghou(Bình hầu;píng hóu;[18][6]Japanese:heikō;[12]“flat monkey” [?][17]).[24]

Alsofengshengshou(Vui vẻ thú;fēng shēng shòu,[g]'wind-life/birthing-beast'[?][25]) is given in the [Hainei]Shizhou ji([ trong nước ] mười châu nhớ,"Records of the Ten Islands [Within the Sea]"[26])[27]and theBaopuzi.[28]

Andfeng xing(Phong tinh;fēng xīngis the name quoted from theLingnan yiwu zhi(Lĩnh Nam dị vật chí,"Records of Extraordinary Things from Lingnan" ) in the encyclopedia.[19][h]

While the beastjiqu(狤𤟎,Japanese:kikkutsu[30]) is treated as another alias offengliby theBencao gangmu,thejiquis treated in a separate chapter (Ch. 16) in the original source,[31]and presumably distinct fromfenglias far as the source (Youyang zazu) is concerned, placing these in Books/Chapters 16 and 15, respectively.[32]The reputation of eating a type of perfume[33](mastic[6]) is attributed to thejiqu.[31]Its characteristics are rather different and shall be segregated and discussed under§Jiqubelow.

Geographical range[edit]

Thefenglidwelled in such places asYong zhou[zh](in present-dayGuangxi), one of the old provinces (zhou) in theLingnan[37](areas south of the "Five Ridges" /Wuling Mountains), and elsewhere further south in Lingan.[i][6][18]

Thefengliwas also found in certain western parts of Shu (Thục,archaic forSichuan), in areas called the "outside of Xijao" (Thục Tây kiếu ngoại).[38][j][k]

Non-native to Japan[edit]

Thefengli(fūri) was not a creature known to be found in Japan so far asTerajima Ryōan[ja]knew, according to hisWakan sansai zue.[40]HoweverNegishi Yasumori[ja],the author ofMimibukuro[ja],thought it was just a "type oftanuki(racoon dog) ", and felt that human encounters with it in Japan were documented.[41]

External appearance[edit]

Size[edit]

Thefengliis said to measure about the size of ali(leopard cat)[44]or an otter according to theBencao gangmu.[45][6][18]

Thefengshengshou(Vui vẻ thú) is rather described as blue/green leopard-like, but about the size of aXing xing[28][27]which is tentatively identified asorangutan,[46][47]suggesting perhaps a large beast. However, scribal errors seems to be in play, because whileXing xing(orangutan-sized) is traceable toBaopuzias quoted in encyclopedia,[28]the original text readsli(Li,"badger-sized" ) in theBaopuziitself.[15][43]

And there is the aliasfeng xing(Phong tinh), presumably meaning 'wind orangutan', but the beast there is described as being monkey- or ape-like yet small.[48][49]

Coat and color[edit]

The creature, described by its different aliases, is likened to several different animals depending on the source.

The amalgamated profile of thefengliaccording to theBencao gangmuis that its fur has markings similar to aleopard,and is multicolored, either "blue-green, yellow, and black",[18]or "greenish-yellow and black",[6]depending on the translator.[l]TheBCGMalso says it is a short-tailed (almost tailess) beast resembling a small ape or monkey, with red eyes.[6][18]

Breakdown by source[edit]

The creaturefengshengshou(Vui vẻ thú) is described as blue (or rather green)[50]and leopard-like in two sources quoted by the encyclopedia.[27][28]

However, one of the two sources quoted secondhand, theBaopuzi,provides quite a different reading when the standalone edited text is consulte. The BPZ actually describes thefengshengshouas a beast that "resembles aĐiểu(Chồn) [marten or sable].. [which] is dark[m]in color and as big as ali(Li) or badger ".[28][43]

As for the simian resemblances, thefengliis said to resemble ahwangyuan(Hoàng viên) or "yellowgibbon"according to the aforementioned [Guihai]Yuheng zhi( "Treatises.. [of the Cinammon Sea]" ),[n][21][22]whilefengliresembled aju- monkey (Thư)), had long eyebrows and tended to shy away, according to theYouyang zazu(Dậu Dương Tạp Trở";"a Miscellany from Youyang").[32][17]Thefengmubeast (Phong mẫu thú) which bore the aliaspinghou(Bình hầu) or “flat monkey” was monkey-like, hairless, and red-eyed according to theNanzhou yiwu zhi.[o][51]Thefengliresembles a rabbit according to one source.[52]

Behavioral traits[edit]

Thefengliresembles a rabbit and is small according toChen Cangqi[zh],and it captures the wind, travels tree to tree, eating fruits.[52][18][6]

But the preferred food is also said to be thespiderfor thefengmubeast[48]or thefengli.[21][22][53][p]

It is said to curl up like ahedgehog(Vị) by day,[48][21]and by night it turns active and agile,[48]or flies in air when the wind rises,[21]or "jump[s] very high with the wind, crossing cliffs and pasing above trees―like birds flying in the air", as theBCGMsums it up.[6][54]

Capture, feigned death, killing method[edit]

TheBCGMwrites that when the creature encounters a human, they present a shy demeanor, "bend their head and seem to beg for mercy",[55][6][q]though an original source words it somewhat differently.[57]

Thefengli(feng xing[r],fengshengshou[s]) will seem to die easily when struck, but resuscitates momentarily upon turning its mouth toward the wind.[58][6][59]Thefengshengshouis reputedly immune to penetration by blade, and also incombustible when attempted to burn with fire, and can only be completely killed by pulverizing its bones and breaching its brain.[60][6][61]

Another piece of lore is that it can also be killed instantly by plugging its nose with the rhizome[18](root[63]) of the sweet flag (Acorussp.[6]) particularly theAcorus gramineusspecies (Cây thạch xương bồ,"grassleaf sweet flag").[18][64][65]

Hunting wand[edit]

According to the lore of southerners, thefenglialways carries a small stick or wand (Trượng) which when pointed at renders (the birds or beasts[66]) incapable of flying or running[48](or immobilizes them).[66][6]When a human obtains this wand, mere pointing at the prey will ensure its capture. But even if thefengliis netted, the wand will not be found (it has discarded the tool[66]). But by caning thefenglia hundred times[48](or by severely hitting it[66]) the animal will be persuaded to point to the whereabouts of the wand.[6]

Other sources report somewhat differently on the wand. The wand owned by is more difficult to obtain than theyi xing cao(Ế hình thảo,tr. as 'grass that covers up [your] body' (a sort of grass of invisibility)[17]) according to the experts of the art of treating wind diseases. This "wand" is actually a piece of grass stalk that thefenglibreaks off, measuring a little over 1chior Chinese foot (thus not something it carries always), and in order to catch it in action, humans span a length of rope between trees, then conceal themselves in the hollow of a nearby tree. After about three days' wait, the creature will come, and finding a flock of birds gathered in the trees, points at them with the grass-stalk causing them to fall, and starts eating. Humans emerge to capture it, but thefenglitypically swallows the grass or flings it away. Thus it is struck several hundred times until it is willing to retrieve the correct grass.[32][17]

The magic grass of thefūriis also mentioned in the Edo Period essayMimibukuro[ja],and includes an anecdote that someone who stole the grass afūri,tried to catch the bird by climbing a tree, and when he held it out the bird, the bird and that person both fell from the tree.[t][41][42]

Medicinal claims[edit]

A colugo.

The blend of this brain[u]with chrysanthemum flowers extends one's life (by 500 years[43]) after administering 10jin(catties,Chinese pound) of the medicine.[68][6][43]The longevity claim was made proably due to the reasoning that the long-lived immortals (xianren) were also considered to be capable of flight (like thefengli), according to the commentary byMinakata Kumagusu.[69]

The urine is also said to treat "massive wind" (Gió to,i.e.,leprosy[70]).[71]Certain ailments were believed caused by wind, hence, the wind creature's urine was believed effective.[69]

Its urine is milk-like, and hard to obtain, but can be procured if the beast is raised in a farm.[6]

Jiqu[edit]

Thejiqu(Chinese:狤𤟎/ cát khuất[72];pinyin:jí qū,Japanese:kikkutsu[30]orkekkutsu[73]) is a beast whose name is tentatively translated as "the one that bows to good fortune" [?].[17]

According to theYouyang zazu(Dậu dương tạp mâm) it likes to eat a type of aromatic substance calledxunlu xiang(Huân lục hương;xūn lù xiāng),[31][17]namely "Indian frankincense",[74]

Thefengliconsidered synonymous tojiquin theBCGM,it is described as feeding on thisfrankincense/olibanum,[18]ormastic.[75][6][76]It was probably only local rumour that the beast ate this perfumewood resin, according to a scholar in the field perfume ingredients.[72]

A largejiquweighed 10 catties [≈pounds], and bore resemblance to an otter. It was almost hairless, with no hair on the head, body, or its for limbs, but a blue (green) stripe of fur ran from its nose, along the spine, down to its tail, about 1cun[≈inch] wide, with individual hairs about 3 or 4 fen (0.3–0.4cun).[31][17][77]

Identification with actual fauna[edit]

Colugo[edit]

Thefengliin writings was hypothesizes to be acolugo,a bat-like mammal,[v]by Minakata Kumagusu (1920).[69][42]The colugo's wing is furry on the upper side, unlike the smooth-winged bat.[69]

While thefengli(fūri) is identifiable with thecolugo,a flying yōkai callednobusuma[ja]may be identifiable with themusasabior theJapanese giant flying squirrel(Petaurista leucogenys),[42]according to some Japanese opinion. Cf. next section on§Giant flying squirrel

Giant flying squirrel[edit]

A tentative identification with thered giant flying squirrel(Petaurista petaurista:Chinese:Cây cọ sóc bay) has been suggested by Yang Wuquan.[80]

Palm civets[edit]

Suzuki's 1931 Japanese translation of theBencao gangmu(Honzō kōmoku) under this entry indicates its scientific name to be uncertain, but in the marginal notes mentions ichthyologistShigeru Kimura[ja]'s opinion it may be themusangor the commonAsian palm civet.[w][81]

A Chinese scholar has also explored the possibility that themasked palm civet(Paguma larvata,Chinese name:Cầy hươngguozili) might be attested asfuliin classical Chinese writings.[82]

Slow lorises[edit]

Ignatius Sichelbart(Chinese:Ngải khải mông) who served as court painter for the Qing Emperors paintedFeng xing tu[x](Fig. right) in realistic precise detail, and is considered to have portrayed aslow loris.[83]

The identification offulias slow loris actually occurs inB. E. Read'sMateria Medica(RMM for short), although he employed the Chinese name of the beast,lan hou(Con lười;Con cù lần), which he literally translated as a "sloth monkey".[84][85][86]

The opinion that thefenglibelongs to the slow loris genus (Con cù lần thuộc)Nycticebusis also elocuated in a paper by Tochio (2004), a scholar of natural history.[y][87]
