Chinese Text Project is the world's largest open-access digital library of pre-modern Chinese texts. It makes Chinese classics available to readers and researchers around the world.
Main features
- Open-access library: the texts are available openly online.
- Pre-modern Chinese: the collection focuses on classical and pre-modern Chinese material.
- Research use: the site serves readers and researchers.
- Digital medium: the project uses the web to make texts easier to search and access.
- Classical reference: it is valuable for checking original sources behind Chinese philosophy and metaphysics.
Product Introduction
Chinese Text Project is included because many Chinese metaphysics discussions eventually return to classical language. Users studying Yi, philosophy, cosmology, or historical source material need reliable access to original texts. This is a reference library rather than a reading or divination product.
