Unlike an ordinary document chest case that is composed of two parts, this document chest is a long odd one. Since it is composed of four drawers, it is also called a desk document chest. In the long panel, stationery, a brush case, and a water dropper and so on is displayed. In the empty space below the drawers small articles such as a document tray or a wooden pillow can be placed. In two legs, there are semicircle apertures for wind. On the drawers, peach shaped rings serve as decoration .Its solid composition and simple shape represents the taste and class of a gentleman.
