The Jin Dynasty Langya Wang And Wujun Zhang Believe In Buddha

Buddhism was introduced into China during the period of the Eastern Han Dynasty.After the development of the three kingdom and Western Jin Dynasties,the number of Buddhist Scriptures was increasing,the translation of Buddhist classics increased obviously,the number of monasteries increased continuously,Confucianism was declining in the end of the Han Dynasty,and the scholar bureaucrats were keen to talk about metaphysics in the metaphysics.For the contact and acceptance of the scholar bureaucrats and even the family religious belief,the Langya wangshi as the first-class lord of the Jiang zuo,wujun zhangshi as one of the four local lord in the south of the Yangtze River,have special status and influence in the political society.The two families show a distinct family text from contact with Buddhism as family religious beliefs.The Langya Wangshi began to contact Buddhism from Wang Cheng,and to the official worship of Buddhism by Wang Dao and Wang Xun,to the Chen Dynasty Wang Bao said,"after going across the yang tze river we not only believe in Confucianism but also Daoism and Buddhism " Buddhism has become the religious belief of the Langya Wangshi,,with a clear track.In particular,five members of the Langya Wangshi have established five monasteries,including Wang Ningzhi,Wang Min and Wang lian,three people who supported the famous Buddhist monks to translate the<Zhong a han Jing>,<a pi tan jing>and<wu fen lv>of three classics.There were 22 people make friend with the monks,and even some people were received from Buddhist monks as Buddhist disciples..In the great discussion of Buddhism(Policy),which was influenced by the imperial court at that time,Langya wang shi played an important role.Then the shangshuling wangmi take part in monks salute or not to emperor.langya wangshi 's special social status is also a reflection of Langya Wangshi influence on Buddhism.Wu jun Zhang shi is one of the four local lord in the south of the Yangtze River,but its political rise is relatively late,mostly between Jin and Song dynasties.Historical records show that in wei dynasty Zhang shi contact with Buddhism,but the family really believe in Buddhism in the Late of eastern Jin dynasty and song dynasty.This Zhang political trajectory is consistent.Zhang Cheng and Zhang Chang joined the monks,and Zhang Yu and Zhang Shao served as a monk during his tenure.To Zhang Rong,he said,"the rule of the family" said,"our family believe in Buddhism" and buddhism faith also have a clear track.five members of wu jun zhang shi built five temples,contact with more than thirteen monks,even invite monks and nuns to be Buddhism teacher.Compare to Langya Wangshi,members of wujun Zhangshi have more influence to Buddhism when they hold a post in the local office.Comparing the performance and characteristics of Langya Wang family and Wu jun Zhangshi'Buddhism faith,it is found that the influence of Langya Wang on Buddhism is mainly concentrated in the central government,Wu jun Zhang family is mostly in the local government,in Buddhist literature works.The influence of family life habits,Langya Wangshi is also more profound.It can be seen that the clan worship Buddhism and their own political status,cultural tradition is closely related.
