Projectomschrijving

In the early twentieth century of China, Buddhism was integrated in economic, political and cultural developments. On the basis of Chinese Buddhist magazines, a research into the function of Buddhism in China’s society and national renaissance can answer the basic question of how the social position of Buddhism developed in the first forty years of the twentieth century.
