Kumarajiva's hometown is India, and his family background is Indian nationality, probably from Khrushchev caste. His father Kumo gave up becoming a monk and crossed the green ridge to Qiuci. King Qiuci's sister is 20 years old and very smart. King Qiuci forced his sister to marry Kumo Mo, and then she gave birth to Kumarajiva. Kumarajiva became a monk with his mother at the age of seven and recited thousands of poems every day. At the age of 9, he went to Kashmir with his mother, where his fame spread far and wide. 12 years old, returned to Qiuci with his mother. Kumarajiva began to change from Hinayana Buddhism to Mahayana Buddhism. Kumarajiva has a high sexual rate and is informal, and the yogi is puzzled by him, which is one of the reasons why he transferred to Mahayana. He carried forward the Mahayana doctrine and soon became famous. "Taoism flows eastward to the western regions and Dongchuan is famous." It is said that even King Qiuci would kneel down and let Rush climb on his shoulders during the lecture. When he was 20, his mother returned to India. Before she left, she said to him, "It's not good for you to spread Buddhism to the east as you see fit." This means that he will "break the precepts" twice. Kumarajiva replied, "The way to become a great scholar is to benefit others and forget your own body. If Dafa can really be handed down, I will be in the oil pan, and I will have no hatred. " Kumarajiva has lived in Qiuci for more than 20 years. At the age of 4 1, Lv Guang, a former Qin general, attacked Qiuci. At that time, Kumarajiva's reputation had spread to the former Qin Dynasty, and King Fu Jian ordered General Lv Guang to plunder Kumarajiva and go to ancient Tibet (now Wuwei, Gansu). Kumarajiva lived in Tibet for 17 years. He studied Chinese there, which laid the foundation for later translation of Buddhist scriptures in the Central Plains. After the demise of the former Qin Dynasty, Yao Xing of the latter Qin Dynasty welcomed Kumarajiva to Chang 'an and became a Buddhist.
Kumarajiva had a rough life and was forced to "break the precepts" twice. He was forced to get married by Lv Guang in Qiuci, and was forced to break the precepts in Chang 'an, and suffered great mental pain, which was in response to his mother's parting worries.
Kumarajiva lived in Chang 'an for nearly 12 years. According to the records in the Sanzang, * * * translated 35 Buddhist scriptures with 294 volumes. Kumarajiva, like Faxian, Xuanzang, Yijing and Jian Zhen, is a great monk in the history of China and a very outstanding figure in the history of Buddhism and even thought in China. His translation of Buddhist scriptures has reached an unprecedented level in the expression of content and the use of words.
After 12 years, Kumarajiva and his disciples have translated 74 classics with 384 volumes, which has had a great and far-reaching influence on Buddhism in China and even the world. He, Yijing and Tang Xuanzang are regarded as the three great translators in history. Kumarajiva became a milestone in the translation history of China.
Sudipo
In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Turkish princess married the Northern Zhou Emperor Wu, accompanied by Su Zhipo, a master of Qiuci music. He was born in a musical family in Qiuci, and his father was a musician called "bosom friend" by Qiuci. Su Zhipo is good at pipa skills and profound music theory. After arriving in the Central Plains, he just played music and didn't give full play to his talents. During the Sui Dynasty, the court changed the music system. Zheng Yi, the minister, found Su Zhipo and suggested that the court should reuse him. So Su Zhipo introduced Qiuci's theory of "Five Dan and Seven Tones" and transformed the old music system in the Central Plains, which had a revolutionary influence. Since then, Central Plains music has injected a lot of "Le Hu" elements, and music is more popular among the ruling and opposition parties and the public. At the same time, Su Zhipo brought new musical instruments and band arrangement to Qiuci, which was also popularized in the Central Plains. Nowadays, pipa, a traditional Chinese musical instrument, has taken root with the introduction of Qiuci music. At the same time, Bai Zhitong, Bai Mingda and many other Qiuci musicians came to the Central Plains. Li Mu, the first flute master in the Tang Dynasty, was taught by Qiuci. Su Zhipo is a representative and symbol of an era. He brought and promoted the popularity of Qiuci in the Central Plains during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Qiuci music became the most attractive and influential art. From the court to the folk, Qiuci music was all the rage.
