Fu and ratio are the most basic means of expression of all poems, while Xing is the unique means of the Book of Songs and even China's poems. The original meaning of Xing Zi is Qi, so it is also called Qi, which plays a role in rendering atmosphere and creating artistic conception in poetry.

Xing in The Book of Songs is interpreted by Zhu as talking about other things first to arouse what is sung, that is, using other things to pave the way for what is sung.
