They were a tribe that worshiped the Sun God, so they were called Yi, which meant " people of the East." There are many branches of Dongyi tribes, such as Laiyi, Yuyi, Niaoyi, Huaiyi, Xuyi, etc. They formed a loose tribal alliance. The leader of the earlier ones was called Taihao, also known as Fuxi, and his surname was Feng. The Taihao Tribe, like the other tribes in the Eastern Wasteland, used the phoenix as their totem.
