Confucian Classical studies during the Southern and Northern dynasties period,

as well as during the short period of the rule of the Sui dynasty, are often considered as a

decline of traditional Classical scholarship. In the North Confucianism acquired an instrumental

function as a guide to ritual practice and, in general, took a course towards preserving the

Eastern Han scholarship. By the end of the 6th century when China, finally, was reunified after

centuries of political disunity, a struggle between different political and scholarly factions began.

Confucian exegesis of this period rarely receives special attention, since it looks like a transitional

phenomenon that did not last long and only preceded the exegetical reforms of the Tang period.

At the same time, an analysis of the features of interpretive practice and the reasons for the

decline of the Northern school is necessary to understand the further development of Confucian

exegetical thought. This article traces the formation of the Northern school, the interaction of

northern and southern scholars in the first years after the unification of China, and studies the

reasons why did northern exegetes quit the stage of Classical studies. Scholarly disagreements,

personal grievances and the lack of necessary intellectual connections led to the fact that in the

first half of the 7th century the northern line of teaching succession lost official support and the

historical choice was made in favour of the southern commentaries. This choice marked the end

of Early Medieval Confucian exegetics and largely determined its future development.
