Abstract
As the outcome of a 3-year joint effort of Department of Computer Science, Tsinghua University and Language Information Processing Institute, Beijing Language and Culture University, Beijing, China, a word-segmented and part-of-speech tagged Chinese corpus with size of 2 million Chinese characters, named HuaYu, has been established. This paper firstly introduces some basics about HuaYu in brief, as its genre distribution, fundamental considerations in designing it, word segmentation and part-of-speech tagging standards. Then the complete list of tag set used in HuaYu is given, along with typical examples for each tag accordingly. Several pieces of annotated texts in each genre are also included at last for reader's reference.
