Overview

WantQuotes 据意查句 is a Chinese quote search tool that lets users find famous lines by describing their meaning. Instead of searching only by exact wording, it matches semantically related quotes across modern sayings, classical Chinese poetry and prose, idioms, proverbs, and twisters.

The site says the product is built with advanced AI algorithms and produced by the Tsinghua University Natural Language Processing Laboratory. It also states that the service is still in testing, that WeChat login is required before querying, and that users can provide feedback on result quality and quote metadata.
