Tetex is the base package, if you want a gui frontend you could try Kile

If you decide to use vim as your editor (vim can be hard to learn, but once you get the hang of it, it's really handy/fast) I recommend latex-suite.

If you use KDE (as I do) then Kile is a very good editor.

watching you avatar and remembering, that you were asking how to read & write chinese in linux... you might want to use a chinese tex-version, instead?
As I don't know Chinese too well, and I only need to type German, English and Japanese in LaTeX, I just know the following tex-package called ptex (which is in portage, too). It is based on tetex, but has some additional stuff for handling Japanese (and therefore maybe Chinese) characters, too. So maybe you're interested in it.

As editor i use (as already mentioned) Kile.
