Duzhenwan story has strong national characteristics and local flavor, especially the tiger story retains the distinctive brand of Tujia traditional culture. Some of the stories are stories of the Han nationality, which are integrated with the Tujia customs and become the world-famous popular stories.

Duzhenwan storytellers are not professional artists, nor do they inherit in the way of apprentices. They mainly rely on family inheritance and social inheritance. The story of duzhenwan not only has the function of entertainment and education, but also has a high value of historical and folk research. Nowadays, the narrator of the story is many years old, and the inheritance chain is relatively fragile, so effective protection measures are urgently needed.
