　　清朝末年，在敦煌石室里发现了一批唐、五代的俗文学写卷，学者泛称之为“变文”，变，是改编，改写的意思。
　　佛教东传，翻译注释大量涌现，但一般民众仍难接受，所以约东晋以来，有些和尚就用浅近的方法如“唱导”来传教。唱导讲究声，辩，才，博。其留下的底本称之为“讲经稿”。稿中每每穿插许多故事，遇到人名地名更是极尽铺张，故事部分畸形膨胀，后来逐渐演变，趋向于以故事为主题的方向发展，佛经本身则变成了故事的素材。这种作品，就称之为“变文”。
　　【又】变文是唐代兴起的说唱文学，“变”指“经变”，佛教用语。以佛经的内容为题材写成的文学作品即变文。“变文”最初是寺院里以通俗语言解说佛经的俗讲，连说带唱，后来内容扩大，也演唱历史故事，民间传说。1899年敦煌千佛洞从佛经中发现大量唐代变文钞本，即敦煌变文。
