GitHub is the most complete database of Chinese classical collections, including 55,000 tang poems, 260,000 Song poems, 21,000 Song ci poems and other classical collections. Poets include nearly 14,000 ancient poets in the Tang and Song dynasties, and 1.5 thousand ancient poets in the Song and Song dynasties.
Why build this warehouse? The author believes that ancient poetry is the treasure of the Chinese nation and even the world, and we should pass it on. Although there are classical collections, most people do not own these books. In a sense, these vast collections are at a distance. The electronic version is easy to copy, so the open source database was born. This database is distributed in JSON format, which can make it very convenient for developers to start projects. Based on these data, the author uses the word cloud to show the list of frequently used words and works in Tang and Song poems:
In addition, you can also see some great products developed on the basis of the database, the Android version of the Whole Tang Dynasty poetry calendar, poetry desktop and so on.
