I agree with this idea. Senshin先秦 and kan漢 writings can always be used as templates and in reality if we could get close to the tou 唐 writings, that is already good enough.

That is a real concern. True, even "Classical Chinese" is a blanket term covering milleniums of evolving written Chinese style.
Since the original proposer is a Japanese, I guess the style that is most compatible with kanbun or other traditions known to East Asians should be that of the Tang-Song period. That is also the period with the richest literature for reference, and most educated Chinese should be familiar with the style. So if we are really going to open such an encyclopedia, let's fix the reference time frame to the Tang-Song period.
However, my perception is that the grammar of Classical Chinese is more or less stablized since the Tang dynasty. New ways of saying things were introduced, but the real substantial change happens with the introduction of Baihuawen.
Does the Latin Wikipedia face similar problems in selecting the style?
