It can be seen that Buddhism has spread in Vietnam at this time. Since then, Buddhism has been introduced into Vietnam through various channels. First of all, due to the war in the Central Plains, a large number of scholars flowed into Jiaozhou, bringing Buddhism into it; Secondly, immigrants and monks from South Asia and West Asia entered Jiaozhou by sea and introduced Buddhism.
