TCM Ancient-to-Modern Chinese Open Metadata

Chinese documentation | Code repository

This public metadata companion was designed to avoid redistribution of third-party published text from the controlled TCM Ancient-to-Modern Chinese parallel corpus. It releases the complete 9,610-record index, frozen split assignments, source-edition register, length metadata, cryptographic integrity digests, and ten readable demonstration pairs. It does not redistribute the experimental Classical Chinese passages, Modern Chinese reference translations, or teacher traces copied or derived from the identified modern published editions.

The demonstration_examples configuration contains one short example for each classic. Its source passages are short public-domain Classical Chinese excerpts provided for illustration, and its Modern Chinese renderings were independently prepared for this public release. They are illustrative examples only: they are not the experimental reference translations, were not used to calculate the reported metrics, and have not undergone the study's specialist assessment.

Scope

Logical split	Records	Teacher traces in the controlled corpus
Training	7,528	7,528
Validation	941	941
Held-out test	941	0
Unseen-classic test	200	0
Total	9,610	8,469

The development corpus contains 9,410 records from eight classics. The unseen-classic test contains 100 records each from Zhubing Yuanhou Lun and Piwei Lun. No record in the unseen-classic test was used for training, validation, or model selection.

The frozen legacy key zhuyuan_zabing_lun is retained for experiment traceability; it refers to Zhubing Yuanhou Lun (《诸病源候论》). The public book_name uses the corrected title.

Public fields

data/metadata_index.jsonl contains one row per controlled-corpus record:

stable identifiers: unit_id, group_id;
frozen assignments: split, dataset_role;
source register: book_id, book_name;
non-expressive statistics: character counts and length bands;
audit indicators: whether a teacher trace exists;
SHA-256 digests of the source, reference, and paired record.

The digests support exact integrity checks against an authorised copy. They do not grant access to, or permission to redistribute, the underlying published text.

data/demonstration_examples.jsonl contains ten readable source--translation pairs under a separate configuration. Every row has experimental_reference: false to prevent these release-only examples from being mistaken for the controlled study references.

Why the paired text is not public

The source-reference pairs were transcribed and aligned from identifiable modern published editions. Citation acknowledges those works but does not itself grant permission to reproduce and redistribute their text. The public release therefore contains research-generated metadata and integrity information rather than the controlled paired text. Bibliographic details are listed in SOURCE_EDITIONS.csv.

Requests for confidential verification access may be directed to the corresponding author at weiliu@hnucm.edu.cn. Requests will normally be assessed within 30 days. Access will be provided only where legally permissible, for non-commercial scholarly verification, and without permission for redistribution or model training. Other research-access requests are considered individually under the same constraints.

Integrity

RELEASE_MANIFEST.json records the public file hash, controlled-corpus hash, record counts, per-book counts, and excluded fields. The index can be rebuilt with:

python scripts/build_public_metadata.py \
  --input /path/to/controlled/data.jsonl \
  --output data/metadata_index.jsonl \
  --manifest RELEASE_MANIFEST.json

Licence

To the extent that copyright or database rights apply, the research-generated metadata index, documentation, and independently prepared demonstration translations are released under CC BY 4.0. The ancient source passages in the demonstration file are public-domain texts and are not claimed as original works. This licence does not cover third-party source editions, editorial punctuation, annotations, experimental Modern Chinese translations, or other publisher-controlled content. See DATA_LICENSE.md.

Citation

Please cite the associated article, the exact repository revision, and the code revision used for analysis. Formal article and DOI metadata will be added after publication.

Limitations

This public metadata release cannot independently reproduce text-level training or evaluation without authorised access to the controlled corpus. It supports auditing of composition, split assignments, grouping, counts, provenance, and exact-record integrity.
