24. Fu Hsiang's trifold distinction is found in the I Ching which uses the phrases 'inferior man', 'superior man' and 'sage'. Here he is plainly making some distance between Taoism and Confucianism. His highest model of virtue, the sage, is Taoist and follows the pattern described by Lao-Tse in the Tao Te Ching. His superior man is Confucian.There are some interesting parallels between Fu Hsiang's categorisation and Plato's distinction between men of brass, men of silver and men of gold, which he makes in the Republic.
