An open Chinese Xinhua dictionary database distributed as JSON files, containing 14,032 xiehouyu (two-part allegorical sayings), 16,142 Chinese characters, 264,434 words, and 31,648 idioms. It also includes Python scraper scripts used to collect and clean the data.

- corpus data for Chinese text analysis
When to choose
- you need ready-made structured Chinese dictionary data in JSON

When to avoid
- you need a live dictionary API (the API feature was discontinued)
