This can significantly improve the research efficiency of ethnic minority literature in China, effectively promote the development of academic and information technology research of ethnic minorities in China, which has important research value and application prospects. This paper selects the original text and Chinese and English translation text corpus of Hnewo Teyy as the research object, establishes the parallel correspondence between multi-lingual texts, expounds the development background, significance and creation process of Hnewo Teyy multi-lingual parallel corpus, which involves the steps of corpus collection and selection, segmentation and labeling, alignment, etc. And it explores the main application of this corpus in language teaching and research. At the same time, it also constructs the parallel comparison relationship between corpuses, makes the corpus platform have translation function, broadens the construction mode of deep processing corpus, provides important corpus resources for literature language research, and makes the digitization of historical documents of ethnic minorities in China bloom in the tide of information age.
