How does Buddhism interact with traditional culture and become an important part of Chinese studies?

1, the profound and long-standing Buddhist ideology and culture is not only an important part of the traditional culture of all ethnic groups in China, but also has folk customs such as society, politics, history, philosophy, ethics, literature, style, language, vocabulary, music, dance, architecture, sculpture, painting, astronomy, medicine, science and technology, weddings and funerals, auspicious festivals and so on. The following are some words from Mr. Zhao Puchu to prove the above point. In an article entitled "On the Influence of Buddhism on China Culture" published in the second issue of Fa Yin (1986), Zhao Lao said: "Buddhism has brought new artistic conception, new style and new wording methods to China culture. Thousands of classics translated from Sanskrit are great and rich literary works in themselves. It was during this period that Buddhism became the mainstream of China's philosophy. Its period, momentum and influence (spread abroad) are far from being comparable to Confucian classics in Han Dynasty and Neo-Confucianism in Song and Ming Dynasties. So when Hu Shi wrote The History of China Philosophy, he stopped writing because he didn't understand Buddhism at that time. There is also a famous contemporary historian in China who took a nihilistic attitude towards Buddhist culture in his early years, but began to study Buddhist scriptures systematically in his later years, saying that he needed to make up lessons. The historian told People: "In the history of China, there is such a deep relationship between Buddhism and culture. If you don't know Buddhism, you won't know China culture." ""But now people still don't pay attention to studying Buddhism and regard it as vulgar religious superstition. " "Now many people deny that Buddhism is a part of China culture, but when he speaks, it actually contains Buddhist elements ... If they really want to completely abandon Buddhist culture, they will not even speak well." Zhao Lao finally said: "Therefore, when formulating today's cultural development strategy, we should raise the issue of seriously studying the essence of Buddhist culture. "The above is mainly from the relationship between Buddhism and Chinese culture.
