Why package.json to add the exports field, which makes the dependent package downloaded by my project unable to be imported correctly like 'lib/Parser'

This was done as a major release & shouldn't be an issue for upstream packages.

The parser is exported from the main export.

Now i use a package which depends htmlparser2, but it write require("htmlparser2/lib/Parser") and its package.json write "htmlparser2": ">=4.1.0", how can i avoid webpack running error? help!

You can add htmlparser2 as a dependency of your project, and npm will de-duplicate the module for you.
