The literary form and composition of Epic give it a huge space in the Mongolian folk literature, and it is a specific type of oral poetry that expresses the language, history, culture, custom, worship, and aesthetic of Mongolians completely.
According to the 2nd Article of the UNESCO 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage, the “Mongol Tuuli, Mongol Epic” belongs to the domain “oral traditions and expressions, including language as a vehicle of the intangible cultural heritage”, and related to the singing of the epic it belongs to the domain “performing arts” and domain “social practices, rituals and festive events”. Nowadays, it is possible to see and get the knowledge of the ancient Mongolians custom associated with the marriage, the friendship, celebration, the war, the hunting, herding horses from Mongol epic, besides this it is able to know about their worship to the nature /respect, harmony to the nature/ and view of the universe.
The Epic is a significant subject in the linguistic science, as because the poet of Epic covers all the types of literature including story, myth, praise, well-wishing, benediction, folk saying, incantation, and besides this, the dialects of ethnic groups are well preserved in it. Therefore, 50 to 60 percent of Mongolist scholars of the world study the epic.
Nowadays, writers, artists, and fashion designers are getting motivations and inspiration of their artwork from the narratives of Epic, and depictions of costumes, palaces, and artifacts said in the epic.
The Epic is being a creativity in the artworks of artists from generation to generation and developed as a living culture, and continuously transmitted, and giving a contribution to the protection and supporting the cultural diversity of the world.
The Mongol Epic is inseparable connections with the custom, psychology, language, and culture of Mongolians, and it supports and creates a pleased and satisfied life, and also being one of the important condition and positive factors in the harmonious life and developing sustainably. Symbolizing the best part of the human relationship to other is the main objective of the Mongol Epic and it well suits to the main concepts of the human right declaration, and the concept of respectfulness between humankind, and also the sustainable development goals.
Although over 230 written sources of epic have preserved and used in research by foreign and Mongolian scholars from the end of the 19th century, the tradition of the Mongol epic came under the edge of extinction in the end of 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century. Indeed the inscription of the “Mongol Tuuli, Mongol Epic” into the UNESCO List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding gave a huge contribution to the safeguarding of Epic repertoire and revitalizing the tradition of epic singing as its original version.
Aforementioned 230 epics and its way of singing and tradition can be classified as follows; for instance, the tradition of Uriankhai epic by Jilker descendant, the tradition by Uriankhai epic singer S.Choisuren, tradition by Dorvod epic singer Zodov, the tradition by Bayad epic singer Sh.Nyamaa, and the tradition of Khalkh epic. As of today, more than half of the present practitioners and epic singers are from the Uriankhai ethnic group, and from the result of the National Project “Mongol Tuuli, Mongol Epic”, and the project “Safeguarding and revitalizing the Mongolian traditional epic” implemented by UNESCO, it is able to view that the tradition of the Uriankhai epic will be transmitted to the young generation continuously, and its existence capability has already strengthened. For the tradition of Dorvod, Bayad, and Khalkh epic, only one or two epic singers are singing these epics as its traditional way and it is being one of the matter to worry. For instance: the tradition of Zakhchin epic is now in the edge of the extinction due to the loss of epic singer T.Enkhbalsan in 2006, who was one of the last few epic singers of Zakhchin epic.
Although, there are several positive attitudes came to the safeguarding of the epic tradition, there are still some risks existing that can be harmful to the capability of the existence of the Mongol epic. As for including:
-the traditional setting, space, and condition of epic singing are diminished day by day due to melting pot caused by globalization, urbanization and sedentary culture.
-Due to the dramatic changes in the life rhythm/style, the number of audiences who spend the several nights for listening to the epic has decreased, and small of part of the epic is performed in the concert for just decoration.
