A database of Chinese poems and classics of literature will soon be open to viewers both home and abroad.
The database, still in its first phase, is made up of about 500 hours of video on the 100 most popular classic of Chinese poetry and short essays, according to a press release from the People's Education Press, the database's publisher, on December 17.
The videos show readings and elaborations on the classics, including some from ethnic minorities like Mongolians, Tibetans, Uygur and Koreans. These works are presented in both their original languages and in Mandarin.
The public will be able to access the database through www.pep.com.cn, www.china-language.gov.cn and www.zhonghuayuwen.org. |
