This study is to examine the role of Buddhism in the ideology system of Cheng-Chu Neo-Confucianism through the Buddhist policy of Hong-Wu Emperor. The Hong-Wu Emperor insisted on the Convergence of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism(三敎一致) and tried to use Buddhism for the edification of the people. He also tried to stabilize the religious life of the people by using Buddhist metempsychosis(輪廻) and immortal spirit(神不滅). For this purpose, Hong-Wu Emperor incorporated Yuka's Monks, which was responsible for the Religious Activities in the private sector until the previous era, into the policy. The role of Yuka's Monks was to recite Buddhist scriptures and mantra and pray for the happiness of the dead. The reason why Hong-Wu Emperor considered Yuka's Monks important was that many people died in the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. and people were afraid of ghosts, but Cheng-Chu Neo-Confucianism recognized the existence of ghosts but did not consider them important, so he could not present a solution. Therefore, Hong-Wu Emperor gave Buddhism the task of eliminating the sins in the afterlife and the present. This is because Buddhism is expected to supplement religious defects in the Cheng-Chu Neo-Confucianism ideology system.
