摘要

The mid-Tang period marked a flourishing era for Buddhism in Chinese history, particularly for Chan Buddhism, which traced its origins to Bodhidharma during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. By this time, after six patriarchal transmissions, Chan Buddhism officially split into the Northern and Southern schools, reflecting a new developmental trend. The Northern School, represented by Shenxiu and Puji, engaged in prolonged doctrinal disputes with the Southern School, led by Huineng and Shenhui. This competition for orthodoxy lasted nearly a century, with the Southern School ultimately prevailing.
