Idiom story

During the reign of emperor Xianzong of Tang Dynasty, Buddhism prevailed, and even emperor Xianzong believed in Buddhism. Once, Emperor Xianzong welcomed a bone of Sakyamuni into the palace for worship. Han Yu objected to the practice of Xianzong, and specially wrote "on the Buddha bone table", which was submitted to Xianzong for remonstrance. In "on the bone table of Buddha", Han Yu said: Buddhism came from foreign countries, and there was no Buddhism in ancient China. The ancient sages such as Yao, Shun and Yu didn't know what Buddhism was, but they managed the country well. They had a long time in office and lived for a long time. Buddhism was handed down to China from the period of Emperor Ming of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Emperor Ming had only been in power for 18 years. Song, Qi, Liang, Chen and the dynasties after the Northern Wei Dynasty believed in Buddhism very much, but the lives of those dynasties were very short. Let's take Emperor Wu of Liang for example. He didn't use livestock to offer sacrifices. He didn't eat meat himself. He became a monk three times. As a result, he was surrounded by rebels and starved to death. He wanted to be blessed by Buddha, but he died miserably. His majesty welcomed the Buddha bones to the palace to offer them, which made the princes and ministers rush to give alms and wasted a lot of wealth. Some people are ignorant and even burn their bodies to show their devotion to Buddhism. It's not a trivial matter that people will spread this bad custom as a joke. In my opinion, we should throw the Buddha bone into the water or into the fire!
