Liu Shaotang is an active advocate of local literature. Liu Servant's Home typically embodies many characteristics of his local novels. Like the local novels written by Tai Jingnong and Xu Jie in the 1920s, Liu Servant's Home describes the local social customs in a specific region in detail.

This paper describes the rural life along the Grand Canal in the suburbs of Beijing in the 1930s: a small courtyard surrounded by poplar, willow, elm and Sophora japonica, with beans planted on the fence and pumpkins planted on the roof; The beach with flowers and reeds and willows: the agility of Qixi night; Zhou Ling, Wang Rilian, Zheng Zhenger and He Niu's childhood "Flower Worship Hall" game; In order to support my sister and nephew, I will never marry; He University asked the couple not to be afraid of making things difficult, and to generously help the orphaned daughter Wang Rilian at the expense of property; ..... This description vividly shows the cultural and geographical characteristics of the northern rural areas and the simple and kind nature of the people.

However, unlike many local novels that implied "homesickness" in the 1920s, Liu Servant's Home has a distinct pastoral mood and comedy color. This is mainly because the writer brought the elements of legendary novels into local novels and consciously showed the great influence of the spirit of the times on rural life. The stories described in the novel, as well as characters like Liu Candou and Zhang, are legendary to a great extent. Liu Guandou was called a living Zhao Yun and Sai Pinggui by He University, having an affair with the daughter of Mr. Dong, running home after practicing marksmanship, being loyal to Colonel Jiang, having a romantic story with a drummer, and setting a trap to kill malei on July 15 Halloween. , are out-and-out folklore. In the description of Zhang, Zhang and other characters, the writer exaggerates his own personality and is comic. A tall man, big feet, bronzed complexion, sonorous voice, kept swearing, and three or five young men were no rivals in a fight. This is easily reminiscent of the heroine in Water Margin. In fact, "Zhang" was originally the nickname of Hu Sanniang, a martial arts master in Water Margin. Liu Servant's Home pays attention to the spirit of the times mainly in the description of Zhou Ling and his son. In the 1920s, Zhou led a peasant uprising. Nine years later, his son Zhou Ling took part in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. This description reveals the awakening of rural society and makes the works have a high spirit of the times.

The structure of Liu's servant's house is also very clever. The story begins at noon when He Man Zi was tied to a grape trellis by his grandfather. He University asked, Liu Candou, Wang Rilian and many other people's vivid and interesting past events, which were told in an interspersed way. In this way, the novel actually tells two stories: Zhou Ling's ongoing anti-Japanese activities, the problem of He University, and Liu Candou's design to eliminate rape; Stories with distinctive local colors that happened in the past and the childhood lives of several young protagonists. The interweaving of the two not only expands the capacity of the novel, but also unifies the local customs with local characteristics and the ongoing struggle, setting off each other, taking care of both the local character and the times. In addition, The Liu Pu Family also embodies the unique language style of Liu Shaotang's novels. For example: "He Manzi is the top of a young woman's heart, lungs, eyeballs and penis"; "He Manzi likes to play on the beach. Dip naked into the tributaries of the river, catch shrimp, dig out crabs and touch small fish; More interesting is to enter the reed pond, search for red-necked waterfowl, and drive red dragonflies flying all over the sky. " Popular, smooth and vivid.
