敦煌变文说唱研究综述

Review of Research of Talking and Singing of Dunhuang Bianwen

敦煌变文从二十世纪初被发现以来,就一直备受关注,相关研究取得了令人瞩目的成就。但是,变文说唱方面的研究却相对薄弱。该文对二十世纪三四十年代以来的变文说唱研究进行了初步的梳理和探讨,并提出几点建议。

Dunhuang Bianwen （A popular form of narrative literature flourishing in the Tang Dynasty, with alternate prose and rhymed parts for recitation and singing, often on Buddhistic themes）, which was found at the beginning of 20th century, receives much concern with splendid achievements, but the research of talking and singing was relatively weak. The history of the research, with some suggestions, will be discussed in this paper.
