star history

What it does “龙书” (Dragon Book) is an open-source Chinese deep learning textbook built around TensorFlow 2. The repo distributes a PDF e-book, executable Jupyter Notebook examples, and PowerPoint slides aimed at classroom teaching. It pitches itself as a theory-plus-practice on-ramp for beginners and lists adoption by a wide range of Chinese universities and colleges.

The interesting bit The repo sits at the center of a small publishing ecosystem: a printed paper edition, paid video courses on NetEase and Bilibili, an English translation repo, and even a PyTorch twin. For learners, the GitHub download is just one entry point into a much larger curriculum.

Key highlights

  • 13,237 stars; the README claims the repo hit #1 on GitHub’s global daily trending list for multiple consecutive days
  • Materials include a PDF e-book, IPython Notebooks (some community-converted), and downloadable PPTs for verified teachers
  • Traditional Chinese print edition already published; English and PyTorch variants live in separate repositories
  • Adopted by institutions from 电子科技大学 to 高雄市立新莊高級中學 as a textbook or reference

Caveats

  • Licensed for non-commercial use only (仅限非商业用途), so it is not a standard permissive open-source project
  • The primary content is in Chinese; English speakers should head to the separate EN repo
  • Technical depth and exact chapter coverage are unclear without downloading the PDF or parsing the table-of-contents images

Verdict Worth a look if you read Chinese and want a structured, classroom-tested path into TensorFlow 2 with slides and video companions. Skip it if you need a permissive open-source license or are already past the beginner stage.
