What it is

This is a curated, community-edited directory of personal blogs written in Chinese, each with its RSS feed and topic tags. It is maintained as a CSV file that contributors extend through pull requests, and the README table is regenerated from that file. The project's stated goal is to help independent blogs be discovered again outside large social platforms.

  • Browse blogs by tag such as 编程, 技术, or 生活 to find writers on a topic
  • Copy RSS feed addresses from the table into an RSS reader to follow several blogs
  • Submit your own blog by adding a row to blogs-original.csv and opening a pull request
  • Use the list as a starting point for finding other Chinese-language writers

Great for

  • Readers who want to follow Chinese-language personal blogs through an RSS reader
  • Chinese-speaking bloggers who want to be listed in a directory of independent blogs
  • Developers and researchers looking for Chinese-language technical blogs by topic
  • People interested in the independent blog community in China

Not ideal for

  • Readers who need a ready-made app or reader; the README lists blogs and does not describe a client
  • Anyone looking for English-language blog recommendations, since the list is Chinese-language
  • People who need guaranteed up-to-date feeds, since the README says broken feeds are moved to a suspected-inactive section

Downloads

Strengths

  • Simple, transparent process: contributions are plain CSV rows reviewed through pull requests
  • Each entry includes an RSS feed, making it easy to follow blogs in any feed reader
  • Listings are sorted by most recent post and checked regularly, according to the README

Trade-offs

  • The README does not describe a reader app or website features beyond the listing itself
  • Entries depend on individual blogs staying online; the README describes moving broken ones to a separate section
  • Written entirely in Chinese, which limits use for non-Chinese readers
