[4] Confucius praised Fu Buqi's governing ability, and thought he was fit for higher positions such as a king's or lord's adviser.
[1] In the Analects, Confucius called Fu Buqi a junzi (gentleman), and cited him as evidence of the high moral standard of the people of Lu.
His works were still extant during the late Western Han dynasty, and were included in Liu Xin's (50 BC – 23 AD) catalogue Qilüe (七略).
[3] In Confucian temples, Fu Buqi's spirit tablet is placed in the outer court, beyond those of the Four Assessors and Twelve Wise Ones.
[2] During the Tang dynasty, Emperor Xuanzong posthumously awarded Fu Buqi the nobility title of Count of Shan (單伯).
