Southern Dynasty Although there were 4 dynasties, there was no large-scale war and the society was relatively stable, so Buddhism also developed smoothly and orderly. Therefore, social stability is very important!

In addition to a stable social environment, Buddhism has won the strong support of the emperors, especially Liang Wudi .

To be honest, Emperor Wu of Liang was an emperor who was not doing his job properly. Compared to being an emperor, he seemed to be more willing to be a monk.

He also treated the monks of Yixue, wrote about Buddhist scriptures by himself, and taught the principles by himself, which made the development of Buddhism reach its peak.

The 60 volumes of the "Dafang Guang Buddha Huayan Sutra" that had a huge influence were written by others.

Quo Navadhara translated 52 scriptures and 134 volumes. The translation of " Sutra of Sutra of Sutra of Shrine " and "Lankavadhara Abadhara Sutra" have had a profound influence, forming a group of Lankavadhasattvas and becoming pioneers of Chinese Zen.

64 volumes and 278 volumes of the true meaning of the scriptures, and their translations of "Abhidharma Karma" and " Mahayana samadhi " greatly influenced the development of Buddhist teachings.

During this period, "Awakening of Faith in the Mahayana", a highly influential work.

Chinese Buddhism thus presents a situation of multi-path development.
