Survival and development of Buddhism in China needs a strong popular base, and led the ideological trend of the times, we need the help to promote the development of Buddhism in the power of the ruling class society. Wei and Jin Dynasties, the implementation of the Nine-rank system,"high gate valve China has the world and the glory; Shu surnamed Han people, no inch into the road.." To North-South divide, different geographical environment, cultural traditions, prompting both sides of the political situation is not the same. The main trends in the South that crossed the northern Nobles Nobles gradual integration with the local indigenous, to acquire all the rights in the DPRK political differences and struggle, has become the main development of the local economy and culture. This breeding ground to one side, under" Everywhere there are differences of mountains and rivers", the religion grow, Buddhist and convergence towards prosperity. Minority group in the north of military power under the rule established by the indigenous political Nobles lost to rely on, have tried to keep the old Confucian tradition. And received a special respected Buddhist minority rulers at that time, they have a sense of it as an auxiliary enlightenment, the ruling means people. Buddhism and the State repressive regimes combined with each other up. Buddhism entered the mutual integration with China’s traditional culture and the growth of innovative period began dramatically" in China." Lay Buddhism as a special group, plays an important role in this period. Lay Buddhism developed rapidly. This is a Chinese Buddhist society, secularization is a major feature, which allows Chinese Buddhist monasteries and Sangha in addition, have a wider range of social resources and faith-based and integrated with Chinese society and life, thus avoiding the fate of the decline of Buddhism in India. To lay and lay Buddhist Northern and Southern Dynasties were discussed, we must first define what is meant to lay, what lay Buddhism.Northern and Southern Dynasties, the reasons and the rise of Buddhism was able to develop a basic understanding of the pattern. In the background of the time, people’s attitude on the one hand for the Buddhist monk belonging No. chanting, while on the other hand tend to idealize foreign cultures, this is disturbing behavior for a monk in a particular period of h ntellectuals under such trends, the monks began to transition, it has also become an important Buddhist opportunity to enter secular circles. History will not be lazy, so after each coincidence has obvious reasons, nothing to do seemingly complex behind the hidden truth. Development and expansion of the spread of Buddhism, Buddhist monks are closely combine with together. Meanwhile, the ancient communication and transportation are limited reasons, will naturally form different regional distribution. Taking the geographic pattern of standards, lay groups and analyze the activities of the Sangha."Vimalakirti Sutra" Indian Mahayana Buddhism-one of the major classical particularly Buddhist Mahayana Buddhism. It revolves around the story of preaching elder Vimalakirti commenced. After this classic into China, Buddhists provide a classic basis. To develop the economy in the temple, monks pampered, envy home life. The difference between monks and the home becomes blurred, pointed out that even without a monk can practice. And suggested that better reflect Offerings at home than a monk wisdom and profound theoretical attainments. Lay Northern and Southern Dynasties to take home to find his own practice theory.The spread of Buddhism in China in the process, the process for the Chinese civilization is a two-way choice, that is, the Chinese Buddhist choice is to choose a course of Chinese Buddhism. For Buddhism, it is a whole process in China. After Buddhism, in order to adapt to the Chinese cultural tradition, various scholars tease out early deep ideological core from the classic, tailored according to the traditional Chinese practice of Chinese Buddhist ways. On the other hand, the introduction of Buddhism on Chinese culture is just starting to make up for the vacancy section civilization, the Chinese thought no or unclear parts of the answer. So that when the Chinese literati seeking to sell off a secular path, though the road to reach the other side of this exceptionally long. After they have a certain understanding of Buddhist sutras, are no longer satisfied with the foreign monks taught knowledge. This distinctive culture caught their keen interest in the natural advantage of this interest to guide their own accumulation of knowledge beyond the text, symbols inherent constraints, in an ultimate state of exaltation. From the above, we can see that the early Buddhist lay mainly in the core of the economic, political, cultural ties or play a decisive role in the reins, in order to allow Buddhist monks spread, to cater to their requires also a necessity. Buddhism conquered both the literati had to compromise on these realities, lay beneath these efforts, Buddhism began his process in China, the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the spread of Buddhism flourished joined the ranks of the establishment of Chinese culture, and to a species firm foothold in the top of the Chinese stance earth. Thus, the formation of a different India, accepted the transformation of the Chinese Buddhist doctor "new" Buddhism and tradition down.Buddhist monks and lay in promoting the development of Buddhism in various parts of China made a great contribution, and they also jointly promote a mature and perfect Buddhist theory, and ultimately promote Buddhism in China. After the development of the Han, Wei and Jin Dynasty experienced a period, Buddhism gradually realized the integration with the Chinese culture, the rapid increase in the number of Chinese Buddhist beliefs, Buddhism in China ’s influence is greatly increased. To the Northern and Southern Dynasties, about Buddhist activities such as interpretation and method for finding increasingly active Southern Buddhist interpretation and method for finding activities mainly by sea Interpretation and method for finding events from the Northern Xinjiang and Central Asia passed. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, China’s Lay Buddhism has been rapid development. Lay Buddhism and Buddhist monks complementary and jointly promote the spread and development of Buddhism in China. During this period, Lay Buddhism Buddhism played an important role carried out, if left to participate in lay Buddhist, Buddhism is difficult to develop.
