While visiting this dynasty’s lands, the monk Ennin lied about his origins and wrote a detailed diary about his travels. A person who married into this dynasty proclaimed themselves to be the reincarnation of the Devi of Pure Radiance by having monks write a (15[1])commentary on the Great Cloud Sutra. The two Wild Goose Pagodas (15[1])were built during (15[1])this dynasty. The Xī’ān Stele recorded that Christianity (15[1])was introduced (-5[1])under this dynasty (10[1])by the Nestorian missionary (10[1])(*) Alopen. This dynasty’s emperor Wǔzōng included Christianity and Manicheism as forms of Buddhism in a Great Persecution that permanently reduced the religion’s influence in China.
