Chinese thesaurus

Question

Hi,

I'm working on a multilingual software where I need to show synonyms of Chinese text to the user. I couldn't find any API that could give synonyms of a given Chinese word. I tried MS-Office proofing tools but they do not support thesaurus for chinese, rather they provide grammar, translation etc.

Please suggest some API or workaround to show the synonyms for chinese words.

I googled "同义词词典" and found one at http://www.eqie.com/sc/sc11.htm. I tried "高兴" which means happy and got 2 synonyms "兴奋,愉快". http://dic.eqie.com/sc/search11.asp?keyword=%B8%DF%D0%CB&submit=%B2%E9%D1%AF
