The rulers of the Han Dynasty paid more attention to Buddhism and allowed it to flourish in the palace. Buddhism in the Han Dynasty was more open-minded and advocated that people could achieve peace of mind and detachment through cultivation. During the Three Kingdoms period, Buddhism was further developed. During the Three Kingdoms period, many Buddhist masters left India and came to China, making important contributions to the development of Buddhism. For example, Zhuge Liang was a Buddhist master. He was proficient in Buddhist thoughts and cultivation methods, and he integrated his own experiences into military strategies. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Buddhism developed further. The Buddhist masters Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty were very supportive of Buddhism and encouraged the development of Buddhist temples.
