After the ending of An Lushan and Shi Siming rebellion,Confucianism began its revival.Because of the debates of official scholars such as Gui Chongjing,Quan Deyu and Zheng Tan from Dali period(766—779)to Dahe period(827—835),the academic system of doctors of five classics was finally instituted on August 7of the seventh year of Dahe(834)during Emperor Wenzong's reign.The doctors of five classics,consisting of five academic officials of the chief fifth rank,are subordinate to the Imperial Academy.Each of them is officially paid and teaches one classic to the imperial students,thereby called doctor of a certain classic.There are ten recorded doctors of five classics during the Tang dynasty,and eleven during Later Tang dynasty.
