AbstractAbstract

Buddhism was introduced into China around the first century CE. It became widespread via Silk Road in Northwest China. For two thousand years, it exerted tremendous impact on Chinese culture. The Buddhists made great endeavors to sinicize and indigenize Buddhism. They established Chinese Buddhist schools and infiltrated all segments of the population. The Buddhist influence can be seen in literature, music, painting, paintings, dance, architectures and medicine. When we investigate the cultural exchanges between China and India, we can easily find that the integral tradition of Indian medicine, which combined a secular elemental doctrine with aspects of demonology, mythology, and moral-macrocosmic concepts, was introduced into China by traveling monks and the texts they brought with them.
