In 1899, more than twenty thousand scrolls were discovered in the Thousand-Buddha Temple at Tun-huang, in China. Among the Tun-huang manuscripts, the pien-wen, a creative narrative, usually written in both prose and verse demonstrates the storytelling art in the T'ang Dynasty. The pien-wen is predominantly Buddhist in content, but also includes a number of secular ballads and tales, which have been named "su-pien," the secular pien-wen.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a In 1899, more than twenty thousand scrolls were discovered in the Thousand-Buddha Temple at Tun-huang, in China. Among the Tun-huang manuscripts, the pien-wen, a creative narrative, usually written in both prose and verse demonstrates the storytelling art in the T'ang Dynasty. The pien-wen is predominantly Buddhist in content, but also includes a number of secular ballads and tales, which have been named "su-pien," the secular pien-wen.
520 $a My study focuses on the secular pien-wen stories among the Tun-huang manuscripts, particularly four historical tales about Meng Chiang-nu, Wu Tzu-hsu, Wang Chao-chun, and Li Ling, as manifestations of the folk traits and the literary merits in the secular pien-wen. My examination of these four stories is from both contextual and textual perspectives. The contextual discussion of the pien-wen sets a historical basis for more literary study of the text itself. The major portion of my study deals with textual, literary analysis of the four pien-wen stories.
520 $a In my literary approach, first of all, the creative strengths or the weaknesses of these stories are analyzed. The significance of the pien-wen's new structure, incorporating both prose and verse, is discussed. Folk artists' efforts to employ different types of mediating activities of the narrator and different kinds of narrative modes, and the later influence of such methods, are developed through my analysis.
520 $a Next, traits that the pien-wen shares with history and myth, as well as those that distinguish it from them, are examined. Finally, there are treated the common characteristics among these four pien-wen, such as the nature of the pien-wen hero, his or her world, the relationship between Man and Heaven, the specific tone of the narrator, the conscious literary style, and the folklore elements. In order to close my study with a more complete overview, this study ends with a discussion of "inheritance and continuity" of these four pien-wen stories.
