Since at those times there was no single official religion in the country and thanks to the tolerance and even indifference of the Parthian court towards religions, Buddhism gained many followers in the capital, in what is today eastern Iran.
In volume 202 of the ancient history of China related to Yuan dynasty, a detailed description has been given of an Iranian prince whose Chinese name was An-shi or Anshi-gao and his important role in the history of Buddhism.
Tan-wa-ti was another Parthian Buddhist missionary who traveled to China in the year 254 A.
An-fa• chian was another Iranian missionary who translated five Buddhist religious scriptures into Chinese during the years 281 to 306 A.
An-huvan and An-fah-hian were also Parthian Buddhist missionaries who traveled to China to propagate that religion.
The efforts or Iranian and Indian monks eventually led to the conversion of millions of Chinese to Buddhism and they themselves spread the religion to other regions in China.
Apparently Mani started to preach his new religion but did not succeed in Iran and traveled to India and gathered followers in that country.
This was due to the efforts of an Iranian missionary at Lu-yang China, where emperor Oniyur accepted Mani's religion in the year 757 A.
Also according to To-tseo-tong-ji, the Chinese book of history, Fo-to-ton (the Chinese version of Forootan), an Iranian Manichaean missionary, was preaching that religion in China in the year 694.
