With Buddhism introduced into the western regions of China as well as China after A.D, Buddhist monks began presiding over rituals such as prayers and funerals among people and tools which were used in such rituals were developed.
紀元を過ぎて、西域や中国にも仏教が伝播するようになると、僧侶は人々の間で祈祷や葬式などの儀式を司るようになり、それに応じて儀式で使用される道具が開発された。
