The type of edicts and memorials (zhaoling zouyi lei 詔令奏議類) is a sub-category to the literary category of historiography (shibu 史部) in the collectaneum Siku quanshu 四庫全書. Edicts are law-equivalent proclamations by an emperor, memorials are suggestions on politics submitted by ministers of other state officials to the throne. In some anthologies edicts and memorials are categorized as literature and are included in the belles-lettres section. The reason for this is that edicts and memorials, before being issued or submitted, and before being included in the archives, underwent a process of language polishing and are thus of a higher literary level than one normally expects from this type of documents. The edicts and memorials section of the Siku quanshu includes 10 collections of edicts and 29 books containing memorials. The most important are the Tang da zhaoling ji 唐大詔令集, Bao Jisu zouyi 包孝肅奏議, Song mingchen zouyi 宋名臣奏議 and Lidai mingchen zouyi 歷代名臣奏議.
