What was the current situation of Buddhism in the Yuan Dynasty?

Although the Yuan Dynasty took Tibetan Buddhism as the state religion, it did not exclude other religions, such as Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, and even foreign Islam and Christianity, and adopted a tolerant attitude. There are many similarities between Han Buddhism and Tibetan Buddhism. Like Buddhism, it is respected by emperors. Yuan Shizu Kublai Khan took the lead in worshipping Buddha and kept counting beads, chanting and giving alms in his spare time. 126 1 year, Daganyuan Temple and Longyan Temple were built. 1285 "Send 6800 guards to Huguo Temple for monasticism". He is also very keen on Buddhism. 1285, he called 40,000 monks from all over the country to hold a 7-day memorial service at Pusi Temple in Xijing, and ordered the emperor to do Buddhist services in major temples for 19. 1287, Tibetan monks were ordered to hold 33 Buddhist ceremonies in the Palace, Wanshou Mountain and Wutai Mountain. Kublai Khan once said: "There is a heaven and earth, and the temple has land. Both taxes are free, and couples can feel at ease. " This did not exist in the Song and Liao Dynasties. Since then, emperors have mostly followed the example of their ancestors in treating Buddhism. For example, in the first year of Emperor Chengzong's Dade (1297), Lintao Temple and Wanshou Guo Yi Temple were built in Wutai. Five years (103 1) "Zhao Ying Palace and Xingjiao Temple each gave 100 hectares, but Xingjiao Temple still gave 5000 ingots; The land of Gan Yuan Temple in Shangdu is 90 hectares, and the banknotes are all like the number of horns; Wan 'an Temple covers an area of 600 hectares and has 10,000 pieces of paper money. The land of Nansi is 120 hectares, and the banknotes are like the number of Wan' an. " This atmosphere of building temples on a large scale and giving land and money was almost uninterrupted in the Yuan Dynasty. As a result, "all over the world, everywhere is fine, everywhere is beautiful, and the characters are face to face." Buddhism, which has gradually stabilized and declined since the Song Dynasty, has reached a new climax. According to the statistics of Zheng Xuan Academy in the 28th year of Zhiyuan (129 1), there were more than 42,000 temples in the territory at that time, with more than 265,438 monks and nuns +0.300 people. By the middle of the Yuan Dynasty, the total number was about one million. Due to the palace's protection of Buddhism in many ways, some monasteries annexed a lot of land and even openly occupied public fields and private houses. At the time of Emperor Chengzong, Changzhou Sanglu took 280 hectares of official land as his own; In Renzong, Bai Yunzong always took Shen Mingren to occupy 20,000 hectares of private land. According to the statistics of Dade for three years (1299), there are more than 500,000 tenants in Jiangnan temples alone. In addition to managing land, monasteries in the Yuan Dynasty also engaged in various commercial and handicraft activities. Pawnshops, restaurants, mills, warehouses, hotels and shops are mostly owned by temples, which are more active than in the Song Dynasty.
