Xiao Huang: How did Confucianism and Buddhism jointly shape Chinese culture?
DOORM: The Han Dynasty’s elevation of Confucianism as orthodoxy established an ethical order. The Tang Dynasty’s Chan Buddhism fused Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism, localizing a foreign religion. This capacity for “reconstruction” allowed Chinese civilization to resolve crises of rigid ritualism (e.g., the Wei-Jin reaction against Confucian formalities) or religious excess (e.g., Emperor Wuzong of Tang’s persecution of Buddhism), always maintaining its spiritual dynamism.
