(urgent! Why is religion a part of China's traditional culture?

Buddhism is an important school of the three major religions in China's traditional culture, which is as famous as Confucianism and Taoism. The Buddhist culture introduced from India gradually merged into the traditional culture of China, and the classics and thoughts of Shi became an organic part of the traditional culture of China. Buddhism was introduced into China in Han Dynasty, and began to take root and develop under the historical conditions of China, becoming a part of the superstructure of feudal society in China. Buddhism is a religion with strong ethical color. Since Buddhism was introduced into China, its moral and ethical thoughts, especially its concepts of equality of all beings, separation from the family and transcendence of the current social order, have formed sharp contradictions with the hierarchical system of feudal society in China and Confucian ethics and moral concepts, which have triggered constant friction struggles. Buddhism was restricted and decided by the political and economic situation of ancient feudal society in China, and at the same time it was resisted and influenced by traditional Confucianism, which evolved and developed along the track of adapting to the cultural characteristics of China, and formed China's Buddhist ethics theory of reconciling Confucianism and propagating the concept of loyalty and filial piety. A set of spiritual cultivation methods of Buddhism has also been absorbed by Confucian scholars since the Tang Dynasty, casting it as a Confucian moral cultivation method. Buddhism discusses the extreme importance of filial piety from the perspective of birth, expounds asceticism from the perspective of life liberation, and puts forward that knowledge and wisdom are the body of human heart, human nature and a set of practice methods from the perspective of combining epistemology with human nature. Buddhism takes compassion, self-interest and altruism as its ethical starting point. This moral precept is similar to the Confucian theory of "compassion" and good nature, and similar to the cultural tradition of China's national standard and people-oriented thought, so it has a great influence in history.

China traditional culture is a relatively stable cultural form formed and developed by the Chinese nation in the ancient society of China, the crystallization of Chinese wisdom and the display of Chinese historical heritage in real life. This ideological system contains rich cultural and scientific spirit, which is mainly reflected in three aspects: first, cohesion theory, China traditional culture is a culture with internal cohesion, and the basic spirit of this culture is to pay attention to harmony, organically link individuals with others, individuals with groups, and people with nature to form a cultural relationship; The second is the study of compatibility. The traditional culture of China is not a closed system. Although China's external communication in ancient times was restricted, it achieved the compatibility of foreign Buddhism with an open attitude. The third is the research of practical application. The essential feature of culture is to promote the humanization of nature and society. China's traditional culture highlights the Confucian style of study. It takes the study of heaven and man as the starting point, and the foothold is self-cultivation, governing the country and leveling the world, and strives to be in the real society.
