Answer:

Before the end of the Age of Division, Buddhism had gained a remarkable hold in China. It appealed to people in China above all because it addressed questions of suffering and death with a directness unmatched in native traditions. Factors such as the support of the general population and royal patronage helped Buddhism spread throughout China.
