摘要

民俗是在一定的自然環境及人文環境中長期形成並傳承的風俗習慣，屬於社會文化的一部份。民俗所涵蓋的範圍廣泛，可以包括日常生活、娛樂、宗教信仰、歲時節日、結婚喪葬等。民俗是人民基於社會需求以及民情欲望，在不同環境條件所形成的特殊行為，在一定程度上反映當時人們的生活方式、歷史傳統、思想心態、價值觀念等。敦煌文書以及莫高窟壁畫的發現，提供研究中古時期民俗文化的寶貴資料，從這些出土的敦煌文書、圖像、辭曲等文化資料，乃是直接出自於敦煌民間，記錄當時民間各項習俗活動，以及該項民俗活動所涵攝的文化價值與群眾意識。這些資料和正史的記載相互印證，除了可彌補史料所闕之處，更是展現出中古時期敦煌社會文化的真實層面。

Folklore is a custom or tradition formed over a long period of time in certain natural and human cultural contexts, which is part of social culture. Folklore covers a wide range of aspects, including daily life basis, entertainment, religions, annual holidays, festivals, wedding, and funerals etc. Folklore is developed based on human needs and desire to meet the expectations of the society and cultures formed into different certain behaviors, which reflect people's lifestyles, traditions, ideas and values. The documentations of Dunhuang and the discoveries of Mogao Grottoes paintings are the valuable information provided for the study of folklores in the medieval times. Dunhuang documentations , pictures , poetry and melodies, which were cultural data directly passed down from the folks in Dunhuang , recording various folks activities, which contain culture values and public consciousness.
