It is an important significance that we can re-interpret the intellectual and culture of thought in Sung China.Buddhist fellowship, who are not only qualities of confucianization, but also the standard of confucianization, go beyond the periods of history. I select the most symbolical Buddhists, for example, SHIH Chih-yuan ( early Sung), SHIH Ch'i-sung ( middle Sung), SHIH Tsung-kao, period of late northern Sung and early southern Sung), SHIH Chih-p'an ( late southern Sung), and discuss their process to confucianization and their attitude to Confucianism.
