Welcome to adopt!
A database of Chinese Poetry in json format
with both Chinese and English versions.
Mainly inspired by the highly-stared repository
chinese-poetry, the author of which aims
to provide chinese users a quick way to get
exposed to traditional Chinese culture.
Then, it occurs to me why not maintain a similar
database, but in English? According to my experience, I notice that
a lot of native English speakers like to pick some Chinese culture sentences
during their conversation. To enrich their understanding of Chinese culture,
this repository is born.
The repository focuses
on offering developers who are native English speakers and
interested in traditional Chinese culture an original database
which can be used in their projects, forming an mysterious beauty from
ancient China.
The repository is written in json format, and organized the
document tree as dynasties-works.
Id format: *-****
eg. 1-0001
The first number: 1->Tang dynasty, 2->Song dynasty, 3->Qing dynasty)
