The spread, survival and development of Buddhist thought in China has a solid social ideological foundation, which has been mostly discussed by predecessors. Whereas, the ideological foundation that the Buddhist pure land thought which was introduced into China and accepted by Chinese is the very thought of implicit pure land in China. The implicit pure land though t embodies the communication of Han culture with the pure land belief in westen sense, the explorat ion of the Hans into the western mysterious world and the implicit pure land thought in the confucian culture.
