The arrival of Buddhism in China was ultimately the result of the first contact between China and Central Asia, Buddhism spread from the Indian subcontinent. As Zhang great traveled from 138 BC to 126 AD, these contacts occurred at the opening of the Silk Road in the 2 nd century BC. These contacts eventually led to the official introduction of Buddhism in China in the year 67 AD. Historians generally believe that religion has penetrated the northern part of the Huai River in China by the middle of the century.
