冯道 / Feng Dao

Feng Dao / 冯道 is the literati official used in EP252 《太平年》之外的五代十国，什么样？ to discuss service across multiple regimes in 五代十国. The episode treats his career as normal within a world where upper-level regime turnover often did not mean every official could or should die for a fallen ruler.

Feng Dao becomes controversial because 欧阳修 later judges him through a stricter Song loyalty ethic in 《新五代史》. The source uses that contrast to separate Five Dynasties survival logic from later moral memory.
