The influence of Huichang on destroying Buddha

After the extinction of Buddhism, Buddhist temples were deprived of their property, monks and nuns were secularized, temples were abandoned, and Buddhist sects lost their objective conditions for prosperity, and from then on they turned from prosperity to decline. However, a large number of monks and nuns are secularized, and the land and wealth of temples have always been owned by the government, which objectively reduces the economic burden of the people to support monks and nuns. In addition, other religions from the western regions, such as Zoroastrianism, Manichaeism and Nestorianism, have been hit.
