敦煌词的出现，为中国古代词律乃至词律史的重新认识、塑造提供了一种重要的参照和变量，价值不可小视。以词调为视角，敦煌词的格律类型约可分为变化较小、变化较大和变化适中三类，三类乃至各类内部的格律风貌多不尽相同。敦煌词的格律特点主要表现为两方面：一是词律变化较大的一种是三种类型中的主流；二是即使是词律变化较小的一种，其内部差异也往往甚于同调传世词。当然，以上特点并不意味着敦煌词的格律已毫无规则可言，而成为一种可以自由发挥的文体，否则，所谓敦煌词是否还能称为词，就大有可商了。

The emergence of Dunhuang Ci provides a significant reference and variable for the re-evaluation and reshaping of our understanding of ancient Chinese Ci metrics and Ci metrical history, and its value being far from negligible. From the perspective of tune patterns of Ci, the metrical types of Dunhuang Ci can be roughly categorized into three classes: those with relatively minor variations, those with substantial variations, and those with moderate variations. The metrical styles not only differ among these three categories but also often vary within each category. The metrical characteristics of Dunhuang Ci are primarily manifested in two aspects: first, the type with substantial metric variation is the mainstream among the three; second, even the type with relatively minor metric variation often exhibits greater internal divergence compared to transmitted Ci poems of the same tune pattern. Of course, these characteristics do not imply that the metrics of Dunhuang Ci are entirely rule-free, transforming it into a literary form allowing free improvisation. Otherwise, whether so-called Dunhuang Ci can still be classified as Ci would be highly debatable.
