A work of religious literature, if it want to be propagated widely, must reflects the readers` understandings and needs. Provided the matters of common concern are faithfully represented and the readers` level of understanding is adapted to, it can be circulated extensively. As a religious literature, Dunhuang Buddhistic Bianwen prevailed for the Tang and Five Dynasties, and obtained immense popular support. They were produced by Chinese, and were intended to provide for the Chinese people. Therefore, the works inevitably represent the Chinese folk custom and culture in it. Having the differences of the contents between the works and the Buddhist scriptures in mind, this paper try to ascertain the components of the Chinese custom and the culture infiltrated into the works. This research also means to seek internal causes which made it prevalent at the time.
