    1. Xiao Yan admires Buddhism, is dedicated to Buddhism, and is a Buddhist believer. 2, Xiao Yan saw through the red dust and no longer pursued the throne. 3. Xiao Yan's ability to achieve great things is inseparable from the support of the monks' forces to a certain extent.

    It's too mediocre. Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan's recitation of Buddha is completely a manifestation phenomenon, there is no real practice in his heart at all, and he is extremely incompetent in governing the country, and he reuses villains and has the benevolence of women.

    During Xiao Yan's reign, he raised the status of Buddhism to a higher level, and I think it was not only because he converted to Buddhism four times, but if he did, he could have abdicated, and there was no need to be so cumbersome. He may want to associate the profession of emperor with the Buddha, so that he has some theocratic color, so that the unity of church and state, this is a political means of him, I hope to adopt!

    In my opinion, Emperor Wu of Liang at that time was very confident in Buddhism, and in the face of things that he was more interested in, he probably felt that this was a goal of his life. Therefore, I have to become a monk four times, and I have to become a monk.

    First of all, he admired Buddhism in his heart, and part of the reason is that he saw the competition in the court, lost hope in his current life, and did not want to be nostalgic for the throne anymore.
