  This document provides extensive guidelines and examples for Rhetorical
Structure Theory (RST) annotation in Mandarin Chinese. The guideline is divided
into three sections. We first introduce preprocessing steps to prepare data for
RST annotation. Secondly, we discuss syntactic criteria to segment texts into
Elementary Discourse Units (EDUs). Lastly, we provide examples to define and
distinguish discourse relations in different genres. We hope that this
reference manual can facilitate RST annotations in Chinese and accelerate the
development of the RST framework across languages.
