Confucianism, as Chinese traditional culture's core, its connotation is broad and profound. Its influence to the thought of society realm is continuous until now. But as a branch of Chinese traditional linguistics, the promotion of the exegesis of ancient text to our country's language development is self-evident. The Confucianism and exegesis of Sui and Tang dynasties still inherit pre-Qin's tradition. They also maintain supplement and complement each other's dialectical development relations.During the Confucianism's revival of Sui and Tang dynasties, exegesis played the huge role. The rulers of this era realized the importance of Confucianism. They took a series of measures to devote to the revival and development of it, such as establishing schools of Confucianism, collecting, settling and studying Confucianist classics. Using the imperial examinations system to recruit elites, regulating four books and five classics and so on Confucianist ancient books as main content of recruit. However, language develops continually. By the era of Sui and Tang dynasties, people could hardly understand ancient books even ancient notes. This, out of question, brought great obstacles to people reading Confucianist ancient books and scholars taking imperial examinations. Meanwhile, it's not good for the broadcast of Confucianism thoughts. The exegesis thus shows its value. Its devotions to the Confucianism revival of this era mainly manifest in the following aspects: Firstly, Lu Deming's "Classics Elucidated texts" not only preserved the pronunciation of massive characters and rich ancient book materials, chose standard note for Confucianism classics, and also disseminated Confucianism thoughts directly. These promoted the revival, broadcast and development of Confucianism. Secondly, "the Five classics Justice" and so on explanatory notes and exegesis works compiled by Kong Yingda explained and corrected the Confucianist classics' sound and meaning. It explained the article righteousness principle, which eliminated language obstacles for people read and study Confucianist classics also greatly promoted the revival and development of Confucianism. Thirdly, the appearance of calligraphy book enhanced Confucianism thoughts too.At the same time, the revival of Confucianism also enormously promoted exegesis's development .Firstly, massive Confucianist classics were annotated in the Confucianism's revival of Sui and Tang dynasties. This made the content of exegesis consolidate, the research more thorough, and simultaneously led to other ancient book's annotation so that further expanded the scope of exegesis. Secondly, the revival of Confucianism promoted the change and development of exegesis style. The most main performance was the production of "just" and the maturity of "pronunciation and meaning ". The justice is the commentary on scriptural text in Sui and Tang dynasties. As a new exegesis style, it played an important role in our country's exegesis history. Finally, new development and change brought by Confucianism's revival to exegesis of this era also focus on the calligraphy books' compilation. The revival of Confucianism must examine and correct the characters of Confucianist classics, therefore produced "Has sought official position Calligraphy book", "Five Passes through Writing" and so on calligraphy books of exegesis. They were utilizable works of linguistics and character as well as important achievement of exegesis and important content of exegesis research.Through the research, we discover that exegesis and Confucianism of Sui and Tang dynasties have obviously mutual dialectical development relations. This research, is advantageous to reveal the leader use and contribution of Confucianism's research and development to linguistics research. At the same time, is also advantageous to illuminated the basic use and great influence of exegesis which takes language annotation as research goal to Confucianism research. It could open new domain for people thoroughly study Confucianist culture. And it's beneficial to traditional culture's excavation and enhancement.
