When was Buddhism introduced to Korea?

As a close neighbor of China, North Korea has been closely linked with China in economy, politics and culture since ancient times. Since ancient times, residents from northern China have been migrating to North Korea, which has played an important role in the economic and cultural development of North Korea. At the end of Qin Dynasty and the beginning of Han Dynasty, Man immigrated to Korea and established the Wei regime in Pyongyang today. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty invaded the DPRK, destroyed the Wei family, and built, declared land, Lintun and four counties. Since then, except Le Lang County, the other three counties have either withdrawn or moved into Liaodong.

Koguryo, Baekje and Silla rose on the Korean Peninsula after the 3rd and 4th centuries. After a long period of merger and contention, Silla, with the support of the Tang Dynasty, destroyed Goguryeo and Baekje and established a unified dynasty in the middle of the 7th century. Silla dynasty existed for more than 260 years and was replaced by Koryo dynasty.

Buddhism began to spread from China during the Three Kingdoms Period in Korea and reached its peak during Silla and Korea. Buddhism formed a sect with Korean national characteristics in the spread and development of Korea, which had a far-reaching impact on ancient Korean history and culture.
