Please, use Chinese Wiktionary for Classical Chinese words. --Millosh 06:05, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Proposal summary
Please read the handbook for requesters for help using this template correctly.

We already have a Wikipedia with classical Chinese, and this wiktionary will help identify all the original meanings of the Chinese characters. It will also assist people on the classical Chinese Wikipedia, and help people with ancient Chinese texts, as modern vernacular Chinese cannot be used to read them.
