The Digital Library of Chinese Classics (DLCC) is the most comprehensive collection of classical texts widely related to Confucianism to date. Supported by Brill’s key reference works, it is the ideal digital library for students and researchers studying classical Chinese, Chinese literature, history, and philosophy. It also provides a valuable source for research in comparative philosophy, intellectual history, and the field of textual traditions.

The current collection contains 510 texts, the equivalent of 282 volumes, 140 thousand pages, or 200 million characters:


  • 458 classical texts and commentaries in four categories:
    Classics (經 Jing): 190 texts
    History (史 Shi): 56 texts
    Philosophy (子 Zi): 85 texts
    Literature (集 Ji): 127 texts
  • 52 recently excavated manuscripts from across China

An additional 160 Chinese language texts from Korean, Japanese and Vietnamese collections will be added at a later stage.

For each text, the best available edition was chosen, and presented with an editor’s note on the original author, the significance of the text, the discrepancies between editions, and why a certain edition was chosen.

Texts are meticulously punctuated, enabling easy reading and understanding.


This collection is the result of over 20 years of research and editing work conducted by Peking University, headed by Ji Xianlin, Tang Yijie, and Wang Bo, involving nearly 500 scholars from 50 universities in China, Korea, Japan, and Vietnam.

The Digital Library of Chinese Classics is incorporated into Brill's Scholarly Editions platform, with unique widgets and functionalities:


  • Parallel reading panels to easily compare texts
  • Advanced faceted search and convenient annotation & referencing tools
  • Each text fragment equipped with a unique URN for intra-database identification
  • Student’s Dictionary of Classical and Medieval Chinese is embedded, allowing for an easy lookup of characters in real time
  • Soon other dictionaries and bibliographies will be integrated too, such as: Le Grand Ricci Dictionary, Biographical Dictionary of Qin and Han, Research Guide to Ancient and Early Medieval Chinese Literature


The size of the database and the additional functionalities makes DLCC a unique resource that saves students and scholars precious time, bringing together reliable source material and convenient reference tools within one single library.


This library can be used to teach classical Chinese at intermediate and advanced undergraduate levels. It can also be integrated into research-based learning modules that guide students in reading original texts and carrying out supervised, small-scale research projects.
