Search

Corpora

All fields are optional. Fill out one or more fields. In text search, separate multiple terms with spaces, commas, `，`, or `、`. Multi-character strings such as 人參 are treated as phrases.

Text

Regex mode searches compact poem text, so punctuation and spaces in poems are ignored. Separate multiple regex patterns with spaces.

Metadata

Line and Length

Additional term checked only in the specified line. It does not need to be repeated in the main search box.

This matches poems where every parsed line has the same character count, so mixed-meter poems are excluded.

A line is the text between commas or periods.

Binome search (by Guangyun initial and final)

Alliterative binomes by initial
Rhyming binomes by rhyme heading

Multiple selections are combined with OR.

Category keywords

Categories are shorthand groups of search keywords. Selecting a category matches poems containing one or more of its terms.
