What is it?

Wanxiang Pinyin (万象拼音) is a Chinese pinyin input scheme for Rime, the open-source input engine. Its core is a lexicon that annotates characters with tones, records word composition and word frequency, and is paired with a grammar model to rank sentence candidates.

The project ships four editions. Base is the full standard version with full and double pinyin. Pro adds multiple auxiliary-code systems such as Xiaohe and Ziran for double-pinyin users. Lite keeps the common Lua features and trims heavier modules, while Pure targets older systems and environments without Lua support.

The package also includes Lua extensions such as a calculator, enhanced annotations, symbol wrapping, dynamic timestamps and a large Unicode symbol lookup. The README points to community schemes built on the same lexicon.

Things to know

  • The README does not give a single-command install; setup is done manually per platform via the documentation site.
  • The lexicon is in manual-maintenance mode, so updates may slow down.
  • Full features depend on a Lua environment; the Pure edition does not include Lua and the Lite edition trims some modules.
  • Content is licensed under CC BY 4.0, which is a licensing condition to note for reuse.
