To hear “July in the wild, August in the house, September in the house, and October the cricket under my bed.” How did you feel?

Bacon said: “history makes a man wise, poetry makes a man wise, mathematics makes a man precise, philosophy deep, moral culture, logic and rhetoric to contend.” Some people said on Zhihu, “I began to recite ancient poems as soon as I could speak. Almost all the information I received from the outside world from the age of three to six came from ancient poems. Now THAT I am twenty years old, I often feel that I did not grow up from childhood, but started from a distant place and walked for a long time.”

I grew up with a little plot of ancient poetry, maybe when you read a poem to resonate with, will also have this plot.

That’s a little too much. Let’s get to the point. In the middle of May this year, I had the idea of doing this ancient poetry website. Although I knew that there are countless websites like this, more than 90% of the traffic is taken by the ancient poetry and poetry network, I still want to do it. Anyway, I will do it if I have time.

In the beginning, my mind kept changing. I had a new idea as SOON as I registered the domain name. I registered several domains before SETTLING on xungushici.com.

The collection and collation of data lasted a long time, taking nearly 2 months. The reason is so long, mainly because I only at night to crawl data, two collection interval is also set a bit larger, try not to have too big impact on the website of others. Secondly, the data came from multiple websites, and it was very troublesome to sort out the data in the later stage, which took about a month. That brings us to the middle of July.

Website development was pretty easy for me and I spent most of my time learning Elasticsearch. This part of the work was synchronized with the collection of data, so by early August the site was complete.

The server I choose is UCloud, I got some coupons before, domestic 4 core 8G/5M, 3 years only more than 2000 yuan is a good deal. It took, like, four days to file.

And just like that, the website went live. May others feel that this is repeated wheel, I feel also a little, but I want to choose a direction to do more, is to do a good classification of ancient poetry aggregation, convenient to find the ancient poetry (not according to the poet, the name of the poem so simple search), the focus is to find the ancient poetry network of the “search” word.

The function of the website is also very simple now, and we can add or subtract it when we have new ideas. Behind the first plan is to finish the micro channel small program, strive to online before the New Year, followed by the classification of poetry aggregation. Welcome everyone to spray, if there is a good suggestion, first here grateful.

Finally, welcome more support to search ancient poetry network www.xungushici.com
