# Annotate Classical Chinese corpora with HanLP

Produce reviewable token, lemma, POS and dependency annotations for Classical Chinese passages with HanLP’s dedicated Ancient Chinese model.

## Prerequisites

Python, pip, HanLP 2.1.1, compatible PyTorch environment, upstream Ancient Chinese model resources; optional GPU

## Installation

Install or set up from the source-backed instructions:

Create an isolated Python environment; run python -m pip install hanlp==2.1.1 with a compatible PyTorch stack. Load hanlp.pretrained.mtl.KYOTO_EVAHAN_TOK_LEM_POS_UDEP_LZH; first load downloads model resources. Check model licensing before use and run the upstream two-sentence demo before processing operator data. No MCP server or hosted API is required.
