metadata.value: The article examines the main trends in Confucian exegetical thought during the Southern
  dynasties period. Confucian exegesis, as an original intellectual tradition, was in a state of
  crisis at that time and experienced significant influence both from the syncretic teaching xuanxue
  and Buddhism. This situation determined the particular popularity of some canonical
  texts and commentaries and the actual oblivion of others. Losing its monopoly in education,
  Confucianism often came down to providing ritual ceremonies at court. The article examines
  several aspects of this crisis state of southern Confucianism. It identifies and analyzes a new
  type of commentary that appeared in the exegesis of this period, and it explores the main intellectual
  tendencies in the Confucian exegesis of the Southern dynasties period and traces the
  reasons for their appearance. The author examines features of subcommentary-yishu, through
  which scholars realized new forms of intellectual activity. This commentary originated from
  Buddhist monks’ translation and teaching activities approximately in the mid-5th century AD.
  In the exegesis of the Southern dynasties, yishu provided a platform for relatively free philosophical
  discussion, often associated with the practice of lecturing. It is important that this
  practice in Confucianism and Buddhism of that time had many common features. The changes
  in the educational standard (the emergence of schools with a new structure) are traced as
  well as its influence on the position of Confucian commentary in the educational process (apparent
  instability of the set of authoritative commentaries).
