## What it is
The most comprehensive open-source database of classical Chinese poetry, distributed as JSON files. It contains roughly 55,000 Tang poems, 260,000 Song poems, 21,000 Song ci (lyrics), and metadata for nearly 14,000 poets from the Tang and Song dynasties.

## Use cases
- build a random Chinese poem generator app
- train a model to compose classical Chinese poetry
- analyze word frequency in Tang and Song dynasty poems
- build a poetry search or lookup website

- research classical Chinese literature with structured data
- create a poetry learning or recitation app

## When to choose
- you need structured JSON data of classical Chinese poems and poets

## When to avoid
- you need modern Chinese or non-Chinese poetry
- you need a ready-made application or API rather than raw data files
- you require rigorously proofread scholarly editions of the texts
