Searching through tex.stackexchange.com, I've come to understand that xetex
is currently the preferred engine for documents that include Chinese characters. In xetex
, one simply uses the xeCJK
or ctex
packages and start including the characters in the body of the document. But it appears these two packages don't work with luatex
.
So is it possible to include Chinese characters in a document using luatex
? I cannot find a single example of this.

Just use
luatexja
. The Chinese TeX community decide not to develop a new package but useluatexja
, because the tools designed for Chinese and Japanese usually work the same.The developer version of our
ctex
package will provide a Chinese customized interface forluatexja
. Now you can useluatexja
directly.Here is an example:
Note:
fontspec
alone is insufficient. You need proper line breaking, punctuation kerning and font switching features provided byluatexja
.
