The oppression policy against Buddhism began to ease gradually after the implementation of the China Reform and Opening Policy. In 1978, the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Communist Party of China, organized by Deng Xiaoping, announced that the policy of freedom of religious belief was important. Accordingly, Chinese Buddhism, which stops for more than 10 years, was revived. Religious ideas always leave visible rituals. Buddhist rituals are also called Buddhist ceremonies and Buddhist rituals. If Buddhist doctrine is content, rituals are considered formal, and it has a religious meaning in that it is a practice that is actually practiced. In Buddhism, rituals enhance a sense of reality about religious objects and enable confirmation of groups and society. In Chinese Buddhism, Buddhist rituals are called Jingchan Foshi. This ingchan Foshi is a mixture of Confucian ideas, ghost elements, filial piety ideas, and national ideas. It has been prevalent in China since ancient times and has not declined. Currently, there are mainly six methods of confession popular in Chinese Buddhism. In other words, they are Lianghuang chan, Cibei Sanmei Shuichan, Guanyin chan, Dabei chan, Yaoshi chan, Dizang chan, Jingtu chan.
