Chinese Idioms Project

This project processes Chinese idioms, translates them, and generates topic tags based on their meanings.

Setup

1. Make sure you have Python 3.x installed

2. Run the setup script to create and activate the virtual environment:

   ./setup.sh

   This will:

   • Create a virtual environment if it doesn't exist
   • Activate the virtual environment
   • Install all required dependencies

3. To activate the virtual environment in future sessions:

   source venv/bin/activate

Project Structure

• chinese_idioms.csv: Original Chinese idioms data
• chinese_idioms_with_translations.csv: Idioms with English translations
• chinese_idioms_with_tags.csv: Idioms with translations and generated tags
• generate_tags.py: Script to generate topic tags for idioms
• requirements.txt: Python package dependencies
• setup.sh: Setup script for virtual environment

Usage

After setting up the environment, you can run the tag generation script:

python3 generate_tags.py

This will process the idioms and generate a new CSV file with topic tags based on both Chinese and English meanings.
