Chinese Poetry

This repository is a curated collection of Chinese poems and poets organized into catalogs, metadata, and text representations suitable for research, creative and cultural use. It includes major dynastic corpora, such as Tang and Song poems, as well as biographical and categorization data. Each poem entry is structured with fields like author, dynasty, title, content, and sometimes annotations or alternate versions. Developers and scholars can build tools that query by author, era, keyword, or poetic form using the standardized data structure. Because the project is open, contributors improve metadata, correct text variants, and maintain consistency across classical collections. The corpus enables digital humanities, poetry apps, styling tools, and creative projects that intermix poems with translation, visualization, or musical settings.
