HU Cunlu HU Heng CHEN Bijia CAMPLELL Cameron Digital Humanities Research    2021, 1 (1): 34-47.   Abstract （783）      PDF（pc） （1725KB）（186）       Knowledge map    Save The Qing state established its system for categorizing local government administrative units during the reign of Yongzheng. In this categorization, zhilizhou (independent departments) were made up of counties and sanzhou (departments) were at same level as counties. Although there were fewer zhilizhou and sanzhou than there were counties and prefectures, their classification and the appointment of their officials had distinctive features. With the aid of the newly compiled data on the political divisions of the states in the newly revised History of Qing Dynasty, it can be seen that the quefen of zhilizhou are concentrated in the yaoque and the zhongque, while the zuiyaoque and jianque are less. Relatively moderate position in government-level administrative districts. The ratings (chongfanpinan) of zhou and sanzhou generally followed the same quefen categories as prefectures and counties: most significant, significant, medium, and simple. 15.4 percent of zhilizhou didn’t follow the rules of the system, as did 19.4 percent of the sanzhou. Most of the exceptions was related to the assignment of miaojiangque (quota in the ethnic Miao regions), yanheque (quota along the rivers), of bianque (border quota). 82.1 percent of zhilizhou were tidiaoque, that is with appointments made by the Governors-General. This was a higher share than for prefectures. This is related to the classification of administrative units made at the beginning of the Qing, when the Imperial Court specified all of the zhou magistrates as positions to be appointed by the Governors-General. Later, some of the zhilizhou were reclassified so that their magistrates would be appointed by the Board of Personnel, while the majority remained as tidiaoque. Meanwhile, the proportion of tidiaoque of among sanzhou was 45.1 percent. As a result of this structure for quota assignment, the tidiaoque of sanzhou magistrates became the main channels of promotion for most county magistrates. In this article we track the origins, transitions, and promotions of zhou magistrates based on 37,320 records of zhilizhou and sanzhou magistrates extracted from CGED-Q (the Jinshenlu database). We demonstrate that zhou magistrates were largely promoted from among local officials, mostly county magistrates, rather than being sent from the central government. This is very different from the pattern of prefects. Through this analysis we draw attention to the key role of appointment as zhou magistrates in the career advancement of county level magistrates and the whole system of local officials.

A Review of the Digitization Achievements of Chinese Antique Maps at Home and Abroad Tian Qing, Li Xingui Digital Humanities Research    2021, 1 (3): 63-82.   Abstract （385）      PDF（pc） （5453KB）（270）       Knowledge map    Save Since the end of the 20th century, with the gradual rise of antique map digitization abroad, the introduction and discussion of antique map digitization technology in China has gradually matured. The needs of researchers and users for the sorting, research, storage and utilization of antique Chinese maps have promoted the digitization of antique maps to varying degrees. At present, there are abundant relevant achievements at home and abroad, and sorting them has become a basic work of Chinese antique map research. After sorting out and comparing these results through literature information retrieval and network information collection, it is found that although the existing digital results at home and abroad have their own characteristics, they still have major deficiencies in supporting humanities research. Using related research results to optimize the classification and attach importance to the digitization of related texts and documents should be the direction of improvement for the digitization of antique Chinese maps.

Analysis of the Digital Humanities Culture Analytics Field and Application Prospect of Large Language Models—Interview with Professor Matthew Wilkens Matthew Wilkens Yang Xiaoyan Digital Humanities Research    2023, 3 (2): 3-14.   Abstract （381）      PDF（pc） （11481KB）（200）       Knowledge map    Save Cultural analytics under the digital humanities is a research field where scholars combine quantitative analysis from mathematics,statistics,and social sciences with complex large-scale social and cultural datasets. The article is an interview with Dr. Matthew Wilkens of Cornell University,an active scholar in this field. It includes an introduction to the current situation of the field,his research experience,prospects,educational ideas,and more. Dr. Wilkens believes that the methods and technologies of digital humanistic culture analysis are transferable,but to avoid the impulse of generalization and generalization,the field still faces two major challenges: one technical and one conceptual.In particular,the idea that literary and historical problems such as cultural evolution cannot be solved by close reading and that the core of some quantitative research is still humanism is still difficult to accept. This difficulty of conceptual change will make digital humanities research within the humanities stagnate. At present,there are signs that the growth of digital humanities will occur in information science and other technical disciplines. At the same time,the rapidly developing large-scale generative models have great application potential in the field of cultural analytics. It will be an important trend for humanists to cooperate with developers of large-scale language models in the future. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics | Comments（0）

On Digital Humanities: from a Philosophical -- Cultural Point of view Cheng Chung - sing Digital Humanities Research    2022, 2 (2): 3-6.   Abstract （375）      PDF（pc） （1177KB）（113）       Knowledge map    Save To digitalize humanities (human sciences)       has profound philosophical and cultural significances. It is a matter of transforming our subjectivities and intrinsic values based on our best feelings and mental thinking on life and reality into manageable form of objectivity. The question is how to do it? I propose in this paper to consider identifying unit of linguistic meanings in our Classical Texts and use relevant words and sentences to organize different forms of discourses from various schools of philosophy and recognize the dominant and outstanding arguments and positions for explaining relevant historical events and trends as well      philosophical points. It serves the purpose of understanding history in a better way, and at the meantime constructing and I forecasting visions of human future under present and other presupposed conditions of human behavior. Digital humanities therefore can be used to promote Chinese humanities including Chinese philosophy and Chinese culture for a worthwhile world-vision of peace and prosperity of mankind.

What do Japanese Modern Literature Researchers Want to Do or Not to Do by Computer? Digital Humanities Research    2021, 1 (3): 89-92.   Abstract （353）      PDF（pc） （525KB）（113）       Knowledge map    Save Recently, Japanese modern literature researchers have begun to use computer-based methods in their research, and three major types of research are now available, including: stylistic studies, content analysis of literary works, and content analysis of various literature-related reports. However, the first type is not mainstream in literary studies, and the second type is regarded as much weaker than the traditional "close reading" by literary researchers. The third type has few practical cases yet, but it is more likely to be intersect with quantitative research on literary tendencies that began in the late last century in Japanese literature circles, as well as with new theories and digital approaches such as "distant reading" that have been proposed in recent years. In addition, text data of a certain scale and standard, with standardized editing, that can be used for search and data analysis is also essential to promote relevant research. Digital humanities is one of the ways to develop literary studies, and even humanities studies. In the future, there will be interesting studies that can skillfully combine artificial close reading and computerized distant reading, and incorporate the problematic consciousness of literary studies,providing that the literary researchers make a thorough change from the problem awareness.

The Application Attempt of Object Detection in Digital Humanities Images Chen Tao Digital Humanities Research    2021, 1 (3): 39-50.   Abstract （345）      PDF（pc） （44499KB）（109）       Knowledge map    Save Image has become a new hot spot in digital humanities research, and image annotation is the main way of image knowledge transfer and value reveal. Object detection, as a computer technology related to computer vision and image processing, can quickly realize the location and classification of target objects in images in batches. The paper first introduces the relevant principles of object detection, and proposes a complete image application ecological process which combines the Visual Object Tagging Tool (VoTT) and the Multi-Dimensional Image Smart System (MISS). At the same time, an image multi-layer annotation model framework is proposed which contains four dimensions: image layer, object layer (content and label), and semantic layer. The selection of the annotation area and the label of the object layer will use the results of automatic labeling with VoTT. In the end, the paper exemplifies the proposed framework and technologies through cases, in order to provide more application perspectives for the research of digital humanistic images.

Normativity Tendency, Cultural Differences, and Critical Creativity of Digital Humanities  —An Interview with Professor Johanna Drucker #br# Johanna Drucker Sun Jiarui Digital Humanities Research    2021, 1 (3): 11-17.   Abstract （339）      PDF（pc） （955KB）（150）       Knowledge map    Save With the vigorous development of digital humanities, it is of great significance for this field to critically examine and reflect on the achievements and limitations of its development. Through an interview with Professor Johanna Drucker, this paper examines and reflects on the development of digital humanities from the perspectives of digital humanities education, digital humanities and academia, and digital humanities research, focusing on issues such as education programs, curriculums, interdisciplinary collaborations, academic evaluation, sustainability and transparency, and research methods. There is a tendency towards normativity in the digital humanities work. “Normative digital gumanities” confines us to the shackles of conventional wisdom, stifles the possibilities of innovation, and even leads to the stagnation of the development of digital humanities. Respecting cultural differences, building integrated and sustainable digital infrastructures, and cultivating students’ critical thinking and creativity should be three primary goals for the future development of digital humanities.

In this article,weargue that DSR offers unique possibilities for research into literature,reading,theimpact of reading and literary communica- tion.We also claim that in this context computational tools are especially relevant, making DSR a field particularly suit- ablefor the application of Digital Humanities methods. We draw up an initial categorization of research aspects of DSR and briefly examine literature for each category. We distinguish between studies on DSR that use it as a lens to study wider processesof literary exchange as opposed to studies for which the DSR culture is a phenomenon interesting in its own right.Via seven examples of DSR research,we discuss the chosen approaches and their connection to research questions in literarystudies.

Its nature is instrumental understanding. Although Literary field has reflected this view and put forward that digital humanities is a kind of research paradigm. It is so weak and limited by instrumental understanding. In order to strengthen the reflection, we must focus on instrumental understanding and point out the dimension covered. The meaning of digital humanities is not only to open the non-text field on humanities research, but also to make possible to discover the non-human experience, digital objects.

By crawling the content of the text, historians organize, piece together and contextualize meaningful information in the text. History is a discipline that studies the trajectory of human activities in time. After adding the concept to geographic space, historical texts will become more three-dimensional. Instead of linear reading in paper data in the past, historical texts in the information age can add a lot of vocabulary tags with the assistance of technology, and then use the analysis and visualization of tagged vocabulary to take a bird’s eye view and grasp the implicit context in historical texts. [Process/ Method] By discussing the meaning of person, time, place name and object vocabulary marks in historical texts for historical research, describing the purpose and characteristics of various marks, especially pointing out that vocabulary marks not only identify words, but also need to achieve “disambiguation” With the “aggregation”function. At the same time introduce two automatic tagging tools, “Code Library Semi -automatic Marking Platform for Ancient Books”（MARKUS) and“Batch Tagging Tool”（Content Tagging Tool, CT) .These two tools make it possible to quickly mark  a large number of people, times, places, and things.[Results/Conclusions] Illustrate how to use marked texts through actual research results; use time, person, geography, and object vocabulary to mark actual benefits to illustrate the use of vocabulary marking and application in historical texts and historical research. Finally, we discuss the issue of event markers, and point out that event markers are essentially different from other lexical markers. Related Articles | Metrics | Comments（0）

The Revival of Quantification: Reflections on Old New Histories Steven Ruggles Trans. Wu Jianze Digital Humanities Research    2021, 1 (3): 18-38.   Abstract （282）      PDF（pc） （85209KB）（82）       Knowledge map    Save Quantitative historical analysis in the United States surged in three distinct waves. The first quantitative wave occurred as part of the “New History” that blossomed in the early twentieth century and disappeared in the 1940s and 1950s with the rise of consensus history. The second wave thrived from the 1960s to the 1980s during the ascendance of the New Economic History, the New Political History, and the New Social History, and died out during the “cultural turn” of the late twentieth century. The third wave of historical quantification —which I call the revival of quantification—emerged in the second decade of the twenty-first century and is still underway. I describe characteristics of each wave and discuss the historiographical context of the ebb and flow of quantification in history. Related Articles | Metrics | Comments（0）

Towards Language Sensitivity and Diversity in the Digital Humanities Digital Humanities Research    2022, 2 (3): 3-20.   Abstract （276）      PDF（pc） （1205KB）（361）       Knowledge map    Save Recent years have seen a growing focus on diversity in the digital humanities,and yet there has been rather less work on geolinguistic diversity,and the research which has been carried out often focuses on the structures of geographic representation in the field or has viewed ‘language’ as a technical or linguistic problem to solve. This article takes a different view,namely that we need to consider this diversity through multiple ‘frames’ of digitally-mediated language and culture,and that this is not just a question of epistemic justice or community manners,but that the digital humanities also need to address more actively challenges around global dynamics of digital multilingualism,transcultural exchange and geodiversity in its research agenda. This paper explores these questions through the prism of ‘language indifference’ in digital studies and, responding to Galina’s call for better data on the state of geolinguistic diversity in DH(2014),it articulates possible frameworks for addressing this diversity in a strategic, programmatic and research-led manner. We conclude by exploring the role of a greater multilingual focus in what Liu calls ‘the techne of diversity’ in digital humanities(2020),and contend that the digital humanities has much to gain,and much to offer,in engaging more fully with the languages-related cultural challenges of our era.

Digital Humanities Research    2021, 1 (4): 61-76.   Abstract （272）      PDF（pc） （23912KB）（74）       Knowledge map    Save In recent years, the digitization of genealogy provides a new way for the collation and integration of traditional Chinese genealogical resources, and also puts forward the requirements for the visualization of genealogy. The existing visualization forms of western genealogy and the metagraph visualization of Chinese genealogy are not quite suitable for the visualization of traditional Chinese genealogy. Based on the characteristics of traditional Chinese genealogy and the existing visualization forms of digital genealogy, this paper proposes two visualization forms, namely, improved genealogy tree and genealogy force-directed graph, with a discussion on their advantages, disadvantages and applicability. The two visualization forms are combined through user interaction. A prototype has been designed for the visualization of traditional Chinese genealogy in the forms of improved genealogy tree and genealogy force-directed graph, and an example based on the Wu genealogy of Taizhou, Zhejiang Province is provided for illustration.

On Planning and Implementing a Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum Theodor Mommsen Trans.Shi Shuangbin Digital Humanities Research    2021, 1 (4): 15-.   Abstract （265）      PDF（pc） （11053KB）（30）       Knowledge map    Save The German scholar Mommsen was the main organizer of the “Großwissenschaft” (big science) of the 19th century philology. In the proposal “On planning and implementing a Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum”, he pointed out that the success of the Corpus depends not only on whether all the inscriptions can be compiled into the Corpus in a proper way for the convenience of use, but also on whether it can be used for the research of the future inscription editors and epigraphers. He organized interdisciplinary cooperation among scholars from different countries, critically appraised the works of the predecessors and improved the method of arranging inscriptions. He planned to arrange the inscriptions through the systematic and topographical method and emphasized the advantages of the topographical method in scientific index.

From Digital Archives to Digital Humanities: Thoughts on the Development of Digital History in Mainland China Hu Heng Digital Humanities Research    2021, 1 (4): 38-.   Abstract （261）      PDF（pc） （4466KB）（78）       Knowledge map    Save Digital archives in mainland China has developed rapidly since the 21th century. The digitalization of historical texts has changed the ecology of history. However, there are still some divergences between commercialization and public welfare, long-term planning and public sharing, and data quality control system. From digital archives to digital humanities has become a general trend, as the development of digital humanities, universities and scientific research institutions should combine their own conditions to choose a suitable path of digital humanities development, and strive to respond to all kinds of doubts faced by digital humanities with solid data construction and research results.
