We're using HPE A5800 switches and they use similar syntax (Comware).  I
don't know exactly what to use in your case but back in the time where we
configured them with rancid, there was a device type called "h3c".

You may have a look here:

When I received the switches, the author of this page (Jethro Binks) kindly
worked (a lot) to adapt his scripts so that it works with the HP A5800
(although he didn't have one to test). It's still working as of now. Ours
is Comware 5-based, but the A5900 is in the list of tested models and is
apparently Comware 7 based. I don't know why it hasn't been merged into
rancid.

I think, though, that these switches have a compatibility mode that would
let you use the hp device type (procurve syntax).
