    Chinese missionaries, people who traveled to spread their religion, introduced Buddhism to Japan, Korea, and other Asian islands.

    Explanation
    During the period from 400 to 845, Buddhism had a significant influence on Chinese culture and was considered the "Age of Buddhism." However, this golden age came to an end when a Tang emperor initiated a campaign against the religion. This suggests that the emperor's actions led to a decline or suppression of Buddhism in China, marking the end of its prominence during that period.
