On the one hand, Western monks are considered the most direct carrier Shu Buddhism, and on the other hand believes that moving its population belongs to the Western monks can not migrate separated, Western monks often travel the path of migrating its population belongs to background. However, on this point, there are many issues to be resolved, such as the Western Han population in Sichuan after entering exactly what ethnic group, their faith status, and the specific reasons for their migration situation is like.

Southern and Western regimes in the communication process, the role played by the Qinghai Road even more prominent than in the Hexi Corridor, in this way, there are many monks preaching and method for finding footprints. In Buddhism, the process of entering the Han, Western non-Han ethnic groups, that is known as a barbarian, played a significant role. The tour of the Western monks often migrate its an ethnic background, but in the current research on this issue is not sufficient, after including the Han ethnicity into the Sichuan region barbarian, economic life, beliefs conditions, causes and migration routes and so on. For in-depth discussion of these issues will help us learn more about Buddhism when entering the Sichuan circumstances. On the development of Buddhism, Sichuan initially lagged behind the Yangtze River region, but especially in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, a beam generation, showing a thriving scene, this area is located in Southern Sichuan and Western regime only way traffic, many monks exchanges related to the heart and then on the other hand more and sophisticated method for finding the monks school Road, Hong Hua Shu inseparable; addition, Yi Liang served as governor of Buddhism also contributed mostly from Sichuan Buddhism in this period of prosperity an important factor in development.
