Allegiance and early political service Feiyingdong belonged to the Guwalgiya clan of the Bordered Yellow Banner. He was the second son of Solgo, a chief of the Suwan region, and joined Nurhaci together with his father and approximately five hundred households. Volume 1 of the *Comprehensive Genealogy of the Eight Banner Manchu Clans* and biography 225 of the *Draft History of Qing* recount his importance in early Manchu state building. Nurhaci made him a minister of the first rank and arranged his marriage to a granddaughter.

Office and campaigns The term *jargūci* appended to Feiyingdong's name was an office, not a separate surname. The *Draft History* describes its work as hearing disputes and administering people. Feiyingdong therefore performed civil and judicial duties alongside military service. Following the establishment of the Banners, he served as *gūsa i ejen*, the commander of a Banner, associated with the later Chinese office title *dutong*. He participated in expeditions against Warka, Ula, Fushun, Sarhu and Yehe. The sources particularly describe his leadership of troops advancing under firearm attack from reinforcements at Fushun.

Posthumous honors After his death, the court conferred honors and commemorated him among meritorious officials in the Imperial Ancestral Temple. Later Shunzhi- and Yongzheng-era grants affected his hereditary title, including the designation Duke Xinyong. These were posthumous distinctions, not offices personally exercised after death. Later successors such as Wohe and Furdan had their own careers, which must not be merged into Feiyingdong's campaigns.
