## What it is
A high-performance Go-based API service serving nearly 400,000 classical Chinese poems (Tang, Song, Yuan, etc.) with both REST and GraphQL interfaces. It supports full-text search, filtering by author/dynasty/genre, random poem selection, and simplified/traditional Chinese conversion, deployable via Docker.

## Use cases
- fetch random classical Chinese poems for an app
- search Chinese poetry by keyword, author, or dynasty
- get Tang and Song dynasty poems via a free API
- serve simplified or traditional Chinese poem text
- build a poetry learning or quote-of-the-day feature
- practice web scraping against a public API
- self-host a Chinese literature data API

## When to choose
- you need a ready-made API of classical Chinese poetry with search and filtering
- you want both REST and GraphQL access to poem data
- you need simplified/traditional Chinese output from one service
- you want a Docker-deployable, self-hostable poetry API

## When to avoid
- you need modern Chinese or non-Chinese literature content
- you need a general-purpose full-text search engine rather than a poetry API
- you require permissive licensing for derivative products (GPL-3.0)
- you need poem translations or annotations
