One of the ways in which the fall of the Han dynasty encouraged the introduction of new, non-Chinese religions into China was that "c. The Confucian tradition lost credibility after the fall of the Han, and the era of warlords and nomadic invaders promoted the spread of foreign religions into China," since this led to wide-spread disorganization.
