During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, because of the urgent needfor leligious beliefs and the gradual decling of the chinese culture, Buddhism mixed together with or fought against theConfucian school, Taoism and metaphysics and it got much support bo the authorities, which contributed to the Bud-dhism popularization with Chinese charcteristics. The Buddhist popularization had a gnat influence on philosophy, liter-atule, architecture and customs in ancient China.
