In the Tang Dynasty, Buddhist music became very popular and many forms of music could be traced to India. Some musical instruments were also introduced from India. According to the fifth volume of the *Life of Xuanzang*, when meeting with Xuanzang Indian ruler Siladitya asked about the musical composition Qinwang Pozhen Yue (Prince Qin Breaking through the Enemy Array) indicating that Chinese music was well recognised in India as well.
