rectg is a curated directory of Chinese-language Telegram channels and groups. The project collects and organizes links to over 500 Telegram communities, spanning categories like news, technology, software tools, development, information security, entertainment, music, anime, gaming, cryptocurrency, education, design, and social chat. Each entry in the directory lists the channel or group name, a rough member count, and a short description in Chinese. The categories are split between channels and groups. Channels are broadcast-style feeds where only admins post, while groups allow members to have conversations. The directory covers both types, making it a reference for anyone looking to find active Chinese-language communities on Telegram across a wide range of topics. The project also maintains an online browsing site at rectg.com where visitors can explore and filter the same index through a web interface. The GitHub repository holds the raw data that powers this site. Users can submit new channels or groups for inclusion by opening a GitHub issue. According to the README, the project relies on automated crawling combined with manual review. It states that it continuously tracks over 1,000 nodes and applies filtering to remove dead groups, promotional spam, and harmful content. The goal is to provide a clean reference of quality Chinese Telegram resources. The README is a data file as much as it is documentation: the bulk of its content is the actual listing of communities organized into roughly 22 categories. It notes that content is sourced from publicly available information and is intended as a navigation and research reference only. Users are asked to evaluate content themselves and follow local laws. The full README is longer than what was shown.
