Buddhism was introduced into China from India in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Monks are men and nuns are women. Monks live in monasteries and nuns live in Antang. There are many Buddhist sects. After the Song Dynasty, Buddhism belonged to Zen Cao Dongzong in China.

In the first year of the Western Wei Dynasty (535), 1 Zhongxing Temple (also known as Dengchan Temple) was built in the territory, which was the beginning of the introduction of Buddhism into the county. After the Western Wei Dynasty, Buddhism developed rapidly in China, and many Buddhist temples were built. By the time of Su Zong and Dai Zong in Tang Dynasty, Buddhism had begun to take shape. According to Bo Daiji, during the Yonghui period (650-655), Zhu, the founder of Bodhi, founded Bo Daiji in Xinghua Mountain in Laozi and Zhuangzi Township. At that time, there were more than 200 houses and temples, more than 700 mu of fragrant fields and 170 monks. In the next hundred years, the number of monks increased to more than 300. In the third to sixth year of Tang Huichang (843 -846), the martial arts mission informed the world that "Buddhism should be destroyed and Taoism should be promoted", and the number of incense fields and teaching staff in China decreased. With the establishment of the Song Dynasty, both Buddhism and Taoism were paid equal attention, and Buddhism regained its vitality. During the Jin Dynasty, due to the restriction of local government, Buddhism in China declined.

In the Yuan Dynasty, the rulers adopted an "inclusive" policy towards religion, and Buddhism revived in the territory, and many monasteries were built one after another. From the first year of Zheng Zhi, Hui Zong to the 28th year (134 1 ~ 1368), Deqin, a high priest in Bordet, rebuilt Dengchan Temple in Jiazhuang Village, Jihe, Angelababy Township, Bordet, yanshou temple in the east of the county, Jiao Hong Temple, Ma Yin Temple, Sanjiao Temple (formerly known as Shifo Temple) and Yuanduo Temple built in Laozi and Zhuangzi Township. Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty admired Buddhism and Buddhism flourished. From Yongle to Wanli (1403 ~ 1620), Yue Ming Temple in Zhuangzi Township, Yuantong Temple in Song Jia Town, Liang Qing Temple, Guangquan Temple in Wanggang Township, Langzhong Temple in Zhang Lin Township, Dazhuang Temple in Liuquanpu Township, Mituo Temple in Chaopi Town, Yuanming Temple in Anziying Township and Cannongji in Erlong Township were successively built. In the 11th year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1378), Xuanzhi, a monk, rebuilt Zhongxing Temple. In the fourth year of Hongzhi (149 1), Cannongji in Erlong Township was rebuilt.

In the fourth year of Jiajing (1525), Baolin Temple in Sishan Town was rebuilt. In the ninth year of Wanli (158 1), the ankokuji Giant Buddha Hall was rebuilt. In 13th year (1585), monk Qin Gui rebuilt hou zhuang Temple in Mazhuang Township. Forty-two years (16 14), ankokuji Tower was rebuilt. Forty-five years (16 17), Bordet Jizang language classroom was rebuilt. In the first year of the Apocalypse (162 1), the Shuangquan Temple in Erlong Township was rebuilt. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, due to the war, there were no monks in most temples in the county. In the 19th year of Qianlong (1754), Emperor Gaozong ordered the national abolition of the "official system", and since then, Buddhist activities have developed rapidly. In the 20th year of Qianlong (1755) and 3rd year of Guangxu (1877), in addition to rebuilding the original Buddhist temples such as Bordet base, Hongyun Temple, Baiyun Temple in Erlong Township and Huayan Temple in Zaoyuan Township were also built. There are 3 1 Buddhist temples built in the territory in the past dynasties.

Among them, Bordet Ji, yanshou temple, Mituo Temple, Baolin Temple, Yang 'an Temple and Zhongxing Temple are large-scale and handed down from generation to generation. Bodaiji is a famous temple in Nanyang area, with beautiful scenery, magnificent architecture and prosperous Buddhism. In the 30th year of Guangxu (1904), Zhenping was ordered by Nanyang magistrate to change some religious places into schools. Except for the Bordet base and the influential Buddhist temples, the rest are deserted. In the early years of the Republic of China, many temples in the county were destroyed due to wars, 17 (1928). 19 (1930), while Eddie Peng Yuyan advocated autonomy, it also changed some temples into schools. On the eve of the liberation of Zhenping, there were 1 Buddhist temples, 122 temples and 87 monks in the county.

After the establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC), Bordet Ji is the only relatively complete temple, with 30 monks and 100 mu of fragrant fields. 195 1 During the land reform, Tian Xiang distributed it to the local poor and middle peasants according to the national policy. For the monks in the temple, each person is divided into two parts, so that they can plant and raise their own. 1953, only Shi Ranfen and others 10 monks. 1959, a forest farm was set up in the county, and the land cultivated by monks was owned by the state. At that time, monks were old and turned to "non-agricultural registered permanent residence" countries to give to cost of living allowance. During the Cultural Revolution, Buddhist temples such as Bodaiji, yanshou temple, ankokuji, Yang 'an Temple and hou zhuang Temple were severely damaged, and Bodaiji scriptures were burned. After 1980, religious activities resumed, and four monks were in Jihui Temple in Bordet. 1983, Shi Qinghao, a Buddhist monk, joined the Buddhist Association of Henan Province.

In the eighth year of the Republic of China (19 19), the monks of Houzhuang Temple built the second bridge of Huang Tu River and Zhu Shihe River, connecting Zhenping and Dengxian Road. In the tenth year of Tongzhi in Yicang Qing Dynasty (187 1), Bodaiji set up Yicang, where she kept surplus grain in good years and gifts from monks and nuns in the temple and gave alms to the poor in poor years. In the third year of Guangxu (1877), the agricultural harvest failed and rice porridge was opened.

Buddhist temples with large schools have courses for training Buddhist disciples, offering "reading classics" or "foreign classics" courses. In the spring of the 31st year of Guangxu (1905), Bordet founded the Relief Primary School in Sizhuang, but it was closed in the spring of the 34th year of the Republic of China (1945) due to Japanese invasion. In the autumn of that year, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, monks founded the Buddhist College to recruit young monks and farmers' children.
