How did Buddhism in India come to China?

In what year did the introduction of Indian Buddhism to China begin It is generally believed that Buddhism was introduced to China from India from the Western Regions in the late Western Han Dynasty and the early Eastern Han Dynasty. In the exchanges between the Han Dynasty and India, the introduction of Buddhism from India was of historical significance. According to records, in 2 BC, Jing Lu in the Western Han Dynasty sent an envoy to the Dayue clan, and the king of the Dayue clan ordered Yi Cun to dictate the "Futu Jingquan".

Yi Cun was the envoy of the Dayue clan, and Jing Lu was dictated by him to the "Futu Sutra". This event of the first transmission of Buddhism is known in history as the "Yicun Sutra".

Buddhism was introduced to China during the reign of Qin Shi Huang.

Buddhism was introduced to China during the Ming Emperor period of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The emperor's edict, the eastward transmission of Buddhist texts, and the establishment of Buddhist monasteries are the main basis for scholars to determine that Buddhism was introduced to China during the reign of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty.

But Han Wei, a researcher at the Shaanxi Provincial Institute of Archaeology, believes that Buddhism should have been introduced to Chinese mainland at the latest in the era of Qin Shi Huang. He believes that "there is a record of Qin Shi Huang's 'forbidden shrine' in the "Historical Records", 'no' is the transliteration of the Buddha, and 'no shrine' is the Buddhist temple. ”

The most widespread theory is that in the tenth year of Yongping of the Eastern Han Dynasty (67), Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty sent envoys to the Western Regions to seek Buddha statues and scriptures, and invited monks such as Jiaye Moteng and Zhu Falan to Luoyang, and established the first official temple in Luoyang - White Horse Temple, which is the birthplace of temples in China; And in this temple to complete the earliest translation of the Buddhist scriptures in our country "Forty-two Chapters Sutra". Beginning with the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Chinese Buddhism entered a stage of flourishing development. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Buddhism has spread throughout the country, and the number of monks and lay Buddhists has increased rapidly, and the Northern Wei Dynasty's "Luoyang Jialanji" records that the temples in Luoyang City reached 1,367 at its peak, and the Chang'an monks and nuns in the north exceeded 10,000, and there were hundreds of Buddhist temples in Jianye (now Nanjing) in the south.

The Sui and Tang dynasties were the heyday of Buddhism in China. The Sui imperial family believed in Buddhism, and the Tang emperors believed in Taoism, but adopted a policy of tolerance and protection towards Buddhism and many other religions. Chinese Buddhism has gradually matured.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Han Buddhist circles first participated in the land reform movement together with the people of the whole country, abolished the feudal landlord ownership system and other exploitation systems, and the cause of Buddhism developed day by day. In November 1952, the Preparatory Department of the Buddhist Association of China was established, and in 1953, the Buddhist Association of China was established in Beijing, and Venerable Yuan Ying was elected president.

Buddhism was introduced to China from the Eastern Han Dynasty, and reached its peak after the popularity and development of the Three Kingdoms, the Two Jin Dynasties, the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the establishment of sects in the Sui and Tang dynasties.

There is no so-called formality, and it has always been rejected by feudalism.

It should be the Han Dynasty White Horse West, and Morteng and Zhu Flange started to build a temple in Luoyang!?

Lord Buddha was born in Nepal.

In ancient times, it could be said that India, but today's Nepal does not belong to India.
