    From the README

    最全的中华古典文集数据库,包含 5.5 万首唐诗、26 万首宋诗、2.1 万首宋词和其他古典文集。诗人包括唐宋两朝近 1.4 万古诗人,和两宋时期 1.5 千古词人。数据来源于互联网。

    为什么要做这个仓库? 古诗是中华民族乃至全世界的瑰宝,我们应该传承下去,虽然有古典文集,但大多数人并没有拥有这些书籍。从某种意义上来说,这些庞大的文集离我们是有一定距离的。而电子版方便拷贝,所以此开源数据库诞生了。此数据库通过 JSON 格式分发,可以让你很方便的开始你的项目。

    古诗采集没有记录过程,因为古诗数据庞大,目标网站有限制,采集过程经常中断超过了一个星期。2017 年新加入全宋词,全宋词爬取过程及数据分析。
