Ancient Chinese Lexicon Database (中國古代詞彙資料庫)

chant The Ancient Chinese Lexicon Database is built on the basis of texts collected in the CHANT electronic texts. Over 40 classical Chinese lexicons and dictionaries have been consulted during its identification and computation. The Database contains 548,892 word entries of ancient Chinese words, with a total count of 1,963,674 occurrences among the texts, encompassing all occurrences of the words in excavated and transmitted pre-Han and Han texts, as well as their representative usage and interpretations till the end of the Qing dynasty. Users can also search the Database for word entries from a particular text and check the frequency of occurrences of the words.

 

Beidao Fabao 法寶視頻

The database includes videos of subject talks and lectures, all delivered by eminent scholars from various Law Schools including Peking University, practitioners and renowned specialists in judicial system. It also includes integrated courses on taxation, environment, management and culture. Videos are available in Chinese only.
