Why were buddhist ideas appealing to people after the fall of the Han dynasty?

Step-by-step explanation:

Buddhist teachings were translated into Chinese. Then, with the breakdown of the Han dynasty, conversions to Buddhism spread among China's masses. They learned respect for India and they felt compelled to re-examine the theory that the Chinese emperor was the Son of Heaven and enthroned at the center of the world. I hope this helps.
