This book will select twenty-eight poems from the "Five-Character Vernacular Poems" in "Dunhuang Susuo" and call them "Folk Songs of the Tang Dynasty". It will use all Tang Dynasty documents to make textual research and annotations for these folk songs, thereby outlining the life images of various people such as government soldiers, poor peasants and farm laborers, runaways, landlords, officials, monks, Taoist priests, businessmen, craftsmen, stepmothers, male and female second-rates, etc. This book also conducts textual research on the "bianwen" involved, and believes that "bianwen" is pictures and texts, which are explanatory texts explaining the plot or scenery in the "bian" (pictures). The reason why "Bianwen" uses a combination of prose and verse is that it inherits the combined style of "Zhuan" (prose) and "Zan" (rhyme) in ancient my country. The Tang Dynasty folk songs and Bianwen selected in this book have high literary value, historical value and folklore value. Mr. Yang's exegesis and discussion have opened up a new field of ancient literature research.
