What influence does Buddhism have on the inheritance of China folk culture?

Speaking of Buddhism, many people think of a group of monks fasting and chanting Buddha. But in fact, the influence of Buddhism on China's traditional national culture is immeasurable. Since Buddhism was introduced into China in the Han Dynasty, it has exerted a profound influence on the traditional culture of China, not only in art, but also in the culture of the Chinese nation. We can see it from many excellent works of art ... Of course, Buddhism also has a great influence on China's literary works. From many ancient documents, we can see the figure of Buddhism.

First, Buddhism, which has a great influence on artistic achievements, plays an inestimable role in China's art. When Buddhism was introduced to China in the Western Han Dynasty, we could see these figures in many artistic aspects. For example, there are many murals in Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, which were originally introduced to China by Buddhism, as well as Longmen Grottoes and Baima Temple in Luoyang. These arts all use physical strength to express the ancient people's respect for Buddhism, hoping to express their high respect and good wishes for Buddhism through their own abilities.

Second, literature has far-reaching influence. Buddhism is also manifested in literature in the inheritance of China folk culture. We can read the flavor of Buddhism through many ancient poems. Of course, Buddhism also influenced many famous poets, such as Cao Zhi, Li Bai and Du Fu. These people have a great influence in the history of ancient literature, and their source is Buddhist culture. In ancient society, the country advocated Buddhism, and these literati were also influenced by this environment and learned a lot of Buddhist culture, so their poetic style was more inclined to these. Later generations will be subtly influenced by reading its classics. Buddhism itself has no fixed posture, and it has always been a spiritual sustenance of human beings, with the development of history. Under the influence of Buddhism, China's traditional culture has always given people a natural feeling. Buddhism can be said to have penetrated into the hearts of ancient people and played an important role in history, enriching the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation and benefiting the development of society.
