论文将押座文界定为运用于讲经文、变文、缘起等敦煌文体之前用以静摄听众的剧场性文体。从朗读、行文等角度考察其流畅性、通俗性、概括性三大特征,在此基础上指出押座文并非专业化文体创作;通过考察押座文的源流阐述其所开创的说唱艺术押座传统,以及唐代敦煌变文等佛教文体的世俗化发展趋势。

The article defines Yazuowen as a style with theatricality, which is used before some styles of Dunhuang, includingJiangjingwen, Bianwen and Yuanqi, to calm the audiences down. It investigates 3 characteristics of Yazuowen, such as word flu-ency, popularity and generality, in terms of reading and writing. And on this basis, it puts forward a viewpoint that Yazuowen isnot a professional writing. It summarizes that Yzuowen has created a tradition that can be called ＂Yazuo＂ in the arts of storytell-ing, through the study of the origin of Yazuowen. In the end, this paper takes Yazuowen as point of cut - in to explore the devel-opment trend of secularization of Buddhist style, Bianwen for example, in Dunhuang in the Tang Dynasty.
