2.0

Factually unsound, Han was not a completely Confucian state, Taoism was a stronger influence for periods of time. Taoism may not a completely homegrown.

What was interest is how Buddhism was leveraged by sui and tang as a psychological salve for soldiers on the battlefield. Especially high Confucian soldiers who believed preserving the body intact unpin death and having a proper burial is of prime importance.
