What's the difference between Japanese Buddhism and China Buddhism?

Both Japanese and Korean Buddhism originated from China Buddhism; It has been introduced to East Asia and neighboring countries since the Tang Dynasty.

However, just as Buddhism was "localized" in China, the schools of Buddhism introduced to Japan, South Korea and other countries also evolved with the differences of local culture and history. For example, in the interpretation of Buddhist scriptures and the inheritance of precepts (for example, Buddhism in China requires monks to be "monks, vegetarians and celibate", while Japanese monks can eat meat and get married, etc.). ), and even have a completely different feeling.

But one thing is worth pointing out: Japan attaches great importance to preserving Buddhist scriptures handed down from China; Even experts and scholars in modern times often turn to the relatively well-preserved Taisho Collection in Japan when studying Buddhist scriptures.
