During this period, Buddhist music emerged in China, largely due to Cao Zhi (192～232 CE), a man of letters during the Three Kingdoms. In 230 CE, he adapted and composed the Prince Ode and other pieces of music. In the 6ᵗʰ century CE, the Emperor Wu of Liang (02 to 549 CE) reformed the court music, added much Buddhist content and ordered the musician Shen Yue (441～513 CE) to compose Buddhist music and play it at the royal court.
