It is a matter of debate among historians as to who brought Buddhism to China. Some European historians say Ashoka sent the royal monk Massim Sthavira into China around 265 BCE; others assert that Li Fang and seventeen other missionaries arrived in China during the Qin dynasty. Trading during the Silk Road period encouraged the spread of Buddhism, but scholars debate whether it was more prevalent on the land or sea routes.
