Abstract
The Pre-Qin Chinese plays a key role in the history of Chinese. However, for the lack of annotated corpus, the overview of Pre-Qin Chinese vocabulary is still not clear. This paper introduces the corpus of 25 Pre-Qin classical texts, which are under manual word segmentation and part-of-speech tagging. Then, the character and word frequencies are calculated based on the corpus. The character entropy, the syllables of words and the multiple part-of-speech words are also statistically analyzed.
