This is too abstract to be an explanation of anything. Chinese philosophers and logicians, before the arrival of formal logic in China (or the world probably) made constant references to the "sage kings" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Sovereigns_and_Five_Emperors https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Sovereigns_and_Five_Empe...) to justify every argument, because 2500 years ago, that's how argumentation worked. Almost purely by model.
