Most Buddhists in China don't eat meat and pay attention to vegetarianism. In fact, vegetarian dishes have nothing to do with Buddhism. Buddhist canon advocates forbidding killing and releasing, but you can eat "three clean meats", that is, you can eat meat that you haven't seen, heard or suspected of killing. Buddhism in China forbade eating meat and meat, mainly because Liang Wudi in the Northern and Southern Dynasties made a vow to believe in Buddhism, combined the benevolence, righteousness and morality advocated by Confucius with Buddhist teachings, and advocated vegetarianism for life. Since then, some Buddhists in China have linked abstinence from killing to absolute vegetarianism, and vegetarianism has been closely linked with Buddhism.
