There they created Huang Bo Sectarian and Huang Bo temple.They not only influenced Japan Buddhism but also spread Chinese culture. For example, thought, language, literature, painting, calligraphy, seal carving, sculpture, architecture, music, medicine, printing, food, tea, custom, etc. And Chinese characters are important carriers of culture. The Japanese people accepted Chinese culture, and accepted Chinese language and Chinese characters. Huang Bo monk read aloud Buddhist Classics in Chinese, did Ritual, used the Chinese custom to layout Dojo, and communicated with Japanese in Chinese. The Japanese people even wrote Chinese textbooks.
