Briefly describe the influence of Buddhism on the cultural development of China and the main forms and characteristics of Buddhist art?

China used to be one of Confucianism, Mohism and Taoism. During the Western Han Dynasty, China's cultural development encountered a bottleneck period, and Laozi and Zhuangzi's thoughts prevailed. At this time, Buddhism was introduced into China, which played an important role in the development and transformation of China culture, and eventually developed into three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism as the essence of China culture.

The main forms of Buddhist art include sculpture, architecture, painting and literature.
