Table is a special style in which China wrote letters to the emperor in ancient times to express his feelings. It is also the style used by feudal social ministers to make statements, requests and suggestions to the emperor. In ancient times, courtiers wrote letters to kings with various names. During the Warring States Period, they were collectively referred to as "books", such as Le Yi's Letter to Yan Hui Wang and Li Si's exhortation to expel guests. "Book" is a general term for letters and opinions.

In the Han dynasty, this writing method was divided into four subcategories: chapter, performance, speech and discussion. Liu Xie said in Wen Xin Diao Zhang Long Biao: "Zhang Xie thanked you, played it according to the disintegration, expressed his feelings, and refused to disagree." It can be seen that the main function of the watch is to express the loyalty and hope of the courtiers to the monarch. Although the specific content is different, it is inseparable from the use of lyric techniques.

Therefore, "moving with emotion" can also be said to be a basic feature of this style. In addition, this style has its own special format, such as saying "what did I say" at the beginning and saying "I am always in awe, nodding my head hastily and committing a capital crime" at the end.
