Based on a case study of the historical evolution of the Gongde Temple in Fujian in south-east China,this paper discusses the close connection between Buddhism in southeast China in its civil-ianization process after the Song dynasty and the process of Buddhist culture entering the folk society after the Song dynasty,which was closely related to the downwards influence of the national system and culture like the nationalization of the folk beliefs in south China as well as the large-scale creation of religious cultures in south China.On the one hand,the civilianization process of Buddhism was a downwards process of the national system of Buddhism entering the community-level society;on the other hand,the Buddhist cultural capital in such society in a consumer country made the state for its benefits.
