    India greatly influenced China through the transmission of religion. China had never seen a religion as rich and beautiful as Hinduism, with its imagery, rituals, and bold metaphysical speculations. When China discovered Hinduism, it was overwhelmed by its splendor. China freely borrowed and adopted many aspects of Indian religious life, and China's debt to India for these religious influences can never be fully documented.

    INDIA’S GRANT TO CHINA

    THE SPLENDOUR OF ANCIENT BHARATA

    “Never before had China seen a religion so rich in


    imagery, so beautiful and captivating in ritualism,
    and so bold in cosmological and metaphysical
    speculations. Like a poor beggar suddenly halting
    before a magnificent storehouse of precious
    stones of dazzling brilliancy and splendor, China
    was overwhelmed, baffled and overjoyed. She
    begged and borrowed freely from this munificent
    giver. The first borrowings were chiefly from the
    religious life of India, in which China's
    indebtedness to India can never be fully told.”

    – HU SHIH (1891–1962)
    Philosopher & Essayist in Republican China
