Buddhist Studies In The Northern Qi Dynasty

Yucheng,since the founding of the capital of the Three Kingdoms period,Cao Wei has experienced the six kingdoms and sixteen countries and the Northern and Southern Dynasties.During the Northern Qi Dynasty,the surrounding area centered on Yucheng was influenced by the support of the rulers,the thought of protecting the law and the social environment at that time.The North Xiangtang Mountain Grottoes,the Nanxiangtang Mountain Grottoes and the Zhonghuangshan Grottoes are among the outstanding representatives.In addition,since entering the Northern Qi Dynasty,not only has the number of monasteries increased,but the translation has also achieved great results.Hui Yuan and Na Li Li Li She She are outstanding representatives of the translators.They translated many Buddhist classics and Dahong Dharma with the support of the rulers of the Northern Qi Dynasty.The Northern and Southern Dynasties were a crucial period for the development of Chinese Buddhism.As a member of many dynasties in the Northern and Southern Dynasties,Buddhism also achieved rapid development during this period.Since the first year of Tianbao(550),Beiqi has replaced East Wei,and since the Gao family was officially on the stage of history,it has paid more and more attention to the development of Buddhism.Although the Northern Qi Dynasty was not long before the country,but with the support of its supreme rulers,the development of Buddhism still achieved fruitful results,and the high-ranking Dades came out in large numbers.According to incomplete statistics,the number of the royal temples is as high as forty-three.While supporting the development of Buddhism,the rulers of Beiqi also made full use of the Buddhist concept to maintain their feudal rule.Although the emperors of the Northern Qi Dynasty adopted support for the development of Buddhism,if the development of Buddhism is not conducive to consolidating its rule,they will still decisively take corresponding measures to manage and limit the development of Buddhism.The eunuch system of Beiqi began with the creation of the Northern Qi Dynastyby the Emperor Wendeng Gaoyang.Since then,under the background of the great development and prosperity of Buddhism in the Northern Qi Dynasty,it has gradually developed and improved.The eunuch system of Beiqi was established in accordance with the administrative division system of the DPRK,with clear grades and clear functions.The creation of the eunuch system in Beiqi and the continuous improvement of the eunuch system not only played a vital role in promoting the development of Buddhism in the Northern Qi Dynasty,but also provided a model for the management of Buddhism in the Northern Qi and later generations.
