Introduction and Spread of Buddhism in China

Buddhism first reached China during the Han period (202BC-220AD). There are three main schools of Chinese Buddhism: Han Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism and Southern Buddhism.

During the North and South dynasties (420-581AD), Buddhism had become extremely popular and many Buddhist towers, pagodas, and temples were being built.

Buddhism flourished under the royal patronage of rulers in the Sui (581-617 AD) and Tang (618-907 AD) Dynasties. By then Chinese Buddhism has gradually matured.

During the late period of feudal society, Han Buddhism declined and monasteries decayed; monks were ignorant and superstitions prevailed. In modern times, with Buddhist advocates in the lead, Buddhism has maintained continuous development in every aspect.

Modern development of Buddhism in China

After the founding of New China in 1949, Buddhism underwent the nationwide land reform to end the feudal landlord and peasant system as well as other exploiting systems. Its influence in Chinese religious life grew. In 1953, the Buddhist Association of China was founded in Beijing and master Yuanying was elected the first President. Since 1980s, the liberal policy regarding religious belief has been resumed and implemented, to promote the development of Chinese Buddhism.

Buddhism in China fell into three categories in terms of language families, namely, Chinese, Tibetan and Pali. The first two are of the Mahayana Buddhism while the last one the Theravada Buddhism.

Tibetan Buddhism is widespread mainly in Tibet, Yunan, Sichuan, Qihai, Xinjiang, Gansu, Neimeng, and so forth. In the late 10th century, it was split into different schools of Tibetan characteristics.

Theravada Buddhism in China’s southern areas is generally spread in many regions of Yunan Province. The masses of ethnic minorities including Dai people, Bulan people, A’chang people and Wa people believe in Theravada Buddhism.
