The light unflavoured meson η/η^' decays are valuable for testing non-perturbative quantum chromodynamics and exploring new physics beyond the Standard Model. This paper describes a series of event generators, including η/η^'→γ l^+l^-, η/η^'→γπ^+π^-, η^'→ω e^+e^-, η→π^+π^-π^0, η/η^'→π^0π^0π^0, η^'→ηππ and η^'→π^+π^-π^+π^-/π^+π^-π^0π^0, which have been developed for investigating η/η^' decay dynamics. For most of these generators, their usability has been validated in BESIII analyses for
