Literary references usually have stable cultural meanings, meanwhile, the subjectivity in explanation. That's because their most main function in the text is to express the author's intention, and ordinarily they are not just the quotations of past but the reflections of the present. In this base, the study of literary references could indicate, beyond the classical scholars, the litterateurs' inclination toward the explanations to Confucian classics. It will help us to realize that how the values or so-called meanings of Confucian classics changed or developed. This research mainly observes two aspects: which literary references from "Zuo Zhuan" are most often mentioned, and the inclination toward the explanations to those literary references. The most often mentioned literary references from "Zuo Zhuan" quoted in Tang Poems concentrates in great anxieties about 'talents buried in a napkin', then, either earnestly admires or grateful to a bosom friend, or frustration on official careers, these are related to the official future of the intelligentsia of Tang Dynasty and the following atmosphere of seeking official preferment or favors. In other words, to the poets of Tang Dynasty, it's not the subject of "Zuo Zhuan" that honor the king and drive off the barbarians, but all kinds of the difficulties in official careers, even life itself. This indicates the values of Confucian classics are fluid, part of them depends on the focal awareness of the readers, in the same time, explainers. The fact that poets of Tang Dynasty didn't strictly obey the original story or meanings of Confucian classics can be an index sign about the atmosphere of arbitrary explanations to Confucian classics in the classical scholars circle of Tang Dynasty.
