An On-Site Study and Its GIS Presentation of the Grand Canal in Painting Album of the Great Canal Journeys by Qian Gu and Visual Travelogue of A Journey Through the Waterways by Zhang Fu of Ming Dynasty Chien Chin-Sung Liao Hsiung-Ming Wang Yong Zhang Shujun Tang Chen Yan Cheng Xie Dinghong Digital Humanities Research    2023, 3 (1): 50-60.   Abstract （151）      PDF（pc） （4617KB）（528）       Knowledge map    Save Qian Gu(钱榖) 's Painting Album of the Great Canal Journeys(《纪行图册》) was based on Wang Shizhen(王世贞)'s Shi Jin Ji Xing(《适晋纪行》) in the fourth year of the Longqing reign (1570) in June and was painted into 32 scenes from Cangshan Xiaozhi Garden(仓山小祗园) to Yangzhou Yangzi Bridge(扬州扬子桥). Zhang Fu(张复)'s Visual Travelogue of A Journey Through the Waterways(《水程图》)was drawn on the boat going north when Wang Shizhen entered the position of Taipu(太仆) in the second year of Wanli (1574) in February. He depicted 52 scenes from Shao Bo(邵伯)to Tongzhou(通州). Both works were done in a realistic style and are consid- ered exceptional in the Ming dynasty's painting history. This article uses the on-site study method to undertake three tasks. First,since Wang Shizhen's trip to the north coincided with the Great Canal's changing period during the comple- tion of the Longqing Xinhe(隆庆新河) and the discussion of the Jiahe(泇河),this article intends to digitize all the waterways they passed through. Second,Qian Gu stated that he wanted to record the true landscape at that time,so this article uses travel diaries,local gazetteers,ancient and modern maps,and my own research results through the on-site study to explain each illustration and verify the degree of realism depicted by the painters. Third,the value of the more than 80 scenes is like discovering a large box of Ming dynasty videotapes. This article will reveal the true appearance of the Great Canal in the Ming dynasty in a visual and expressive manner through the true nature of the scenes. Related Articles | Metrics | Comments（0）

Digital Humanities Construction in the Development of Smart Museums: The Practice of Shanghai Museum as an Example Liu Jian Digital Humanities Research    2022, 2 (3): 39-49.   Abstract （346）      PDF（pc） （8398KB）（502）       Knowledge map    Save It has been nearly 10 years since the emergence of the concept of smart museums. In the practice of smart museum construction, after collecting a large amount of data, the use of the data appears to be less than satisfactory, and to some extent this can be said to be a bottleneck faced by the construction of smart museums. How to break through this stagnation and start from data collection, management, and mining to form a new model of museum knowledge production and organization services, so that the core functions of smart museums, such as smart management, smart conservation, and smart services, can operate firmly, and in this regard, the emerging digital humanities research in the humanities provides good methods and tools to learn from.  Related Articles | Metrics | Comments（0）

Towards Language Sensitivity and Diversity in the Digital Humanities Digital Humanities Research    2022, 2 (3): 3-20.   Abstract （254）      PDF（pc） （1205KB）（304）       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.

Study on Tongyuan Zidian with Database Method Fang Shuyi Digital Humanities Research    2022, 2 (4): 93-106.   Abstract （94）      PDF（pc） （1126KB）（299）       Knowledge map    Save As Wang Li is masterpiece in his later years,Tongyuan Zidian is of epoch-making significance in the history of Chinese etymology. Due to the complexity of the text in Tongyuan Zidian,quantitative analysis can only be  carried out effectively relying on computer information processing. Based on MS Access 2019 platform, the establishment of a full-text database not only helpsus to sort out those features,but also examines the distribution of cognate words in Chinese and their internal linking rules from multiple perspectives. In that case,all achievements or deficiencis of this book will be judged more objectively. Anyway,it will offer a newreference model to the later digitizing  workon the samekind of dictionaries.

Integrated Interdisciplinary Workflows for Research on Historical Newspapers: Perspectives from Humanities Scholars,Computer Scientists, and Librarians#br# #br# Sarah Oberbichler Emanuela Boroş Antoine Doucet Jani Marjanen Eva Pfanzelter Juha Rautiainen Hannu Toivonen Mikko Tolonen Trans. Zhang Chenwen Digital Humanities Research    2022, 2 (3): 83-100.   Abstract （108）      PDF（pc） （8993KB）（256）       Knowledge map    Save This article considers the interdisciplinary opportunities and challenges of working with digital cultural heritage, such as digitized historical newspapers, and proposes an integrated digital hermeneutics workflow to combine purely disciplinary research approaches from computer science, humanities, and library work. Common interests and motivations of the above-mentioned disciplines have resulted in interdisciplinary projects and collaborations such as the NewsEye project, which is working on novel solutions on how digital heritage data is(re)searched, accessed, used, and analyzed. We argue that collaborations of different disciplines can benefit from a good understanding of the workflows and traditions of each of the disciplines involved but must find integrated approaches to successfully exploit the full potential of digitized sources. The paper is furthermore providing an insight into digital tools, methods ,and hermeneutics in action, showing that integrated interdisciplinary research needs to build something in between the disciplines while respecting and understanding each others expertise and expectations.

A Data-driven Approach to Studying Changing Vocabularies in Historical Newspaper Collections Simon Hengchen, Ruben Ros, Jani Marjane, Mikko Tolonen, Trans. Fang Huakang Digital Humanities Research    2022, 2 (4): 74-92.   Abstract （120）      PDF（pc） （6353KB）（238）       Knowledge map    Save Nation and nationhood are among themost frequently studied concepts in the field ofintellectual history. At the same time,theword ‘nation and its historical usage are veryvague. The aim in this article was to develop a data-drivenmethod using dependencyparsing and neuralword embeddings to clarify some of the vagueness in the evo- lutionthis concept. To this end,we propose the following two-step method. First,usinglinguistic processing,we create a large set of words pertaining to the topic of nation. Second,we traindiachronicwordembeddings anduse themto quantify the strength ofthe semantic similarity between these words and thereby create meaningful clusters,which are then a- ligned diachronically. To illustrate the robustness of the study acrosslanguages,time spans,as well as large datasets,we apply it to the entirety of fivehistorical newspaper archives in Dutch,Swedish,Finnish,and English. To our knowledge, thus far there have been no large-scale comparative studies of this kind thatpurport to grasp long-term developments in as many as four different languages in adata-driven way. A particular strength of themethod we describe in this article is that,by design,it is not limited to the study of nationhood,but rather expands beyond it toother research questions and is reusable in different contexts.

The Logic and Approach of Digital Reconstruction of Ancient Books in the Data Intelligence  LeiJueying, HouXilong, WangXiaoguang Digital Humanities Research    2022, 2 (2): 46-56.   Abstract （305）      PDF（pc） （1746KB）（220）       Knowledge map    Save With the continuous development of the ancient books protection plan and the digital publishing of the ancient books，China has accumulated a huge number of ancient books digital resources. Under the environment of data intelligence，how to apply new technologies and new ideas to realize the extraction，display，activation and utilization of excellent cultural genes contained in ancient books has gradually become the main goal and core task of ancient books digitalization in the new era. Based on the digitalization of ancient books，this paper puts forward the concept of"digital reconstruction of ancient books"，and analyzes the differences between the two concepts. Then it refines the theoretical basis of digital reconstruction of ancient books，and constructs a stack model from the carrier record layer，content organization layer and application layer.The paper also puts forward the realization approach of digital reconstruction of ancient books from the five dimensions of theory，technology，users，mechanism and mode，which provides a reference for the in-depth development and activation of ancient book resources. Digital reconstruction of ancient books is an important part of the activation of ancient books in the future，which can provide a new guiding concept for the work of ancient books in the new era.

Research on the Construction of "Metadata Ontology" of Chinese Traditional Music Knowledge Base#br# Cao Junjun, Li Junxuan, Wang Yuhe Digital Humanities Research    2022, 2 (4): 22-37.   Abstract （139）      PDF（pc） （9305KB）（181）       Knowledge map    Save The construction of the knowledge base of Chinese traditional music resources is in line with the cultural strategies of China to promote national music and prosper the music industry, and it also meets the demands of the joint construction of library resources in the music circle. The construction of " metadata ontology" is the key point, especially the design for the characteristics of Chinese traditional music and the knowledge structure of Chinese traditional musicology. The research is based on the practice of the "Chinese Traditional Music Culture Resource Bank" in the library of the China Conservatory of Music, especially in combination with the characteristics of its " image records" ,to carry out the design of the basic ontology scheme; combined with the characteristics of traditional music culture related to multiple fields, it constructs corresponding categories, relationships and semantic constraints, such as involving music genres, musical instruments, and thesaurus of ethnic groups, and semantic associations with repertoire, musicians, regions, and written documents. This program will benefit traditional music classification research and knowledge retrieval in vertical fields, and has application prospects in music geography and music anthropology community analysis.The construction of the knowledge base of Chinese traditional music resources is in line with the cultural strategies of China to promote national music and prosper the music industry, and it also meets the demands of the joint construction of library resources in the music circle.

The New Liberal Arts and New Digital Humanities Education Feng Huiling Digital Humanities Research    2022, 2 (4): 14-21.   Abstract （196）      PDF（pc） （1067KB）（171）       Knowledge map    Save This article summarizes the new characteristics of digital humanities educationas new educational pattern,new goals,new structure,and new roles. The new educational idea runs through the above-mentioned new characteristics. Digital humanities education has no definite position in the current discipline map. The intersection and cutting-in of multi-discipline make the discipline affiliation of digital humanities educationa diversified pattern. Digital humanities education does not pursue imparting definite knowledge,but aims to guide students to embrace open knowledge and strengthen thinking training. The long-span,multi-cues,and deeply integrated knowledge intersection of digital humanities has triggered multi-level structural updates,such as curriculum structure,teacher team structure,and teacher-student knowledge structure. Digital humanities education must shift from one-way indoctrination to student participatory learning,give more teaching resources to students,and implement open source education,which will lead to changes in the traditional roles of teachers and students.

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 （301）      PDF（pc） （11481KB）（144）       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）

Understanding Memories of the Holocaust——A New Approach to Neural Networks in the Digital Humanities Tobias Blanke Michael Bryant Mark Hedges Trans. Zhang Sitong Digital Humanities Research    2022, 2 (2): 16-34.   Abstract （169）      PDF（pc） （49446KB）（138）       Knowledge map    Save This article addresses an important challenge in artificial intelligence research in the humanities,which has impeded progress with supervised methods. It introduces a novel method to creating test collections from smaller subsets. This method is based on what we will introduce as distant supervision' and will allow us to improve computational modelling in the digital humanities by including new methods of supervised learning. Using recurrent neural networks,we generated a training corpus and were able to train a highly accurate model that qualitatively and quantitatively improved a baseline model. To demonstrate our new approach experimentally, we employ a real-life research question based on existing humanities collections. We use neural network based sentiment analysis to decode Holocaust memories and present a methodology to combine supervised and unsupervised sentiment analysis to analyse the oral history interviews of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Finally, we employed three advanced methods of computational semantics. These helped us decipher the decisions by the neural network and understand, for instance, the complex sentiments around family memories in the testimonies.

Johana Drucker, Trans.Zhu Zitong Digital Humanities Research    2022, 2 (2): 7-15.   Abstract （170）      PDF（pc） （1142KB）（136）       Knowledge map    Save Concepts of sustainability touch every aspect of scholarly work and are particularly urgent in thinking about those practices that depend on digital technology. The costs of digital scholarship are frequently posed in terms of human labor and rights abuses. Ecological and environmental damage carbon footprints. waste of resources associated with obsolescence. And other issues that affect every stage of the lifecycle of production. But sustainability also needs to be understood as an epistemic concept embedded in complex systems, not merely as a set of problems to be solved through instrumental means applied to operational logistics. This article addresses mechanistic approaches to sustain ability, while suggesting that the complexity of the concept of sustainability requires the humanistic methods and ethical principles to be engaged in decisions about future practices in pedagogy, research, and institutional sites.

Un-disappeared Geography:Context Perception,Geomedia and the Change of Man-land Relationship Ga Zangcao Digital Humanities Research    2022, 2 (2): 104-112.   Abstract （160）      PDF（pc） （1136KB）（133）       Knowledge map    Save The combination of Geomedia and mobile network makes the long-lost " disappeared geography" the spotlight of the internet; physical geography, where location, place, spaces, objects, and people are connected, breaking through the single relationship between people and content in the traditional internet. Digital geography has transformed from the information level of the traditional Internet into an important factor for the interconnection of all things. Focuses on sensor technology, context technology realizes the integration of physical context, social context and application context through perception, dativization and integration of geographic information. It is the beginning of the era of context. Geomedia has increasingly penetrated andintegrated into the real and social contexts and formed various application contexts, which have become the competitiveresources of mobile network. Based on the comprehensive digitization of Man-land, the new Man-land relationshippresents the characteristics of comprehensive datalization of human and land, heterogeneous public space, cocoon effect of Man-land relationship and re-localization.

What Does A Photograph Sound Like? Digital Image Sonification As Synesthetic AudioVisual Digital Humanities Michael J. Kramer Trans. Zhu Zitong Digital Humanities Research    2022, 2 (4): 63-73.   Abstract （184）      PDF（pc） （7258KB）（115）       Knowledge map    Save Computers have the capacity to transpose the pixels,shapes,and other features of visualmaterial into sound. This act of data correlation between the visual and the audial produces anew artifact,a sonic composition created from the visual source. The new artifact,however,correlates precisely to data in the original,thus allowing for fresh ways of perceiving its form,content,and context. Seeming to distort the visual object into an aural one paradoxically allowsan observer to observe the visual evidence anew,with more accuracy. A kind of generative,synesthetic criticism becomes possible by cutting across typical boundaries between the visualand the audio,the optic and the aural. Listening to as well as looking at visual artifacts by wayof digital transpositions of data enables better close readings,more compelling interpretations, and deeper contextual understandings. Building on my earlier scholarship into image glitching,remixing,and sonification,this essay investigates a photograph of Joan Baez performing at theGreek Amphitheater in Berkeley,California,during the early 1960s. The image comes from myproject on the Berkeley Folk Music Festival and the history of the folk music revival on the WestCoast of the United States. Here,the use of digital image sonification becomes particularlyintriguing. While we cannot magically recover the music being made in the photograph,we can more closely attend to the ghosts of sound within the silent snapshot. Digital image sonification does not recover the music itself, but it does help to amplify issues of gender, power, embodiment, spectacle, performance, hierarchy, and performance in my perceptions of Baezmaking music in the photograph. Using the ear as well as the eye to scan the image for itsmultiple levels of meaning leads to unsuspected perceptions,which then support morerevealing analysis. In digital image sonification,a cyborgian dance of data,signal,image,sound,history,and human perception emerges,activating visual materials for renewed scrutiny. In doing so,this mode of AudioVisual DH activates the scholarly imagination in promising newways. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics | Comments（0）

The Political Network Analysis of Shuhan Based on Three Kingdoms Annals Sheng Yihan Huo Chaoguang Digital Humanities Research    2022, 2 (3): 61-74.   Abstract （163）      PDF（pc） （33466KB）（106）       Knowledge map    Save Although the rise and fall is a political phenomenon,it is actually caused by various objective political forces behind it. In order to gain insight into the complicated relations of the Shuhan regime,this paper quantifies the relations of Shuhan political figures through text mining methods and analyzes the structure of Shuhan political network from four aspects:overall characteristics of Shuhan political network,core political figures,internal historical changes, and external co-temporal comparison with other countries,based on the Three Kingdoms Annals. The study shows that the power division and political structure changes of the Shuhan regime were related to the place of origin;compared with Wei and Wu,the Shuhan regime had more centralized power and smoother power transition. With objective facts, this study responds to the debate on the transmutation of the political structure of the Shuhan Dynasty from a global historical perspective,proposes new research entry points and also provides a reference for making full use of digital technology for historical research.

On Digital Humanities: from a Philosophical -- Cultural Point of view Cheng Chung - sing Digital Humanities Research    2022, 2 (2): 3-6.   Abstract （355）      PDF（pc） （1177KB）（102）       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.

Infrastructuring Digital Humanities:on Relational Infrastructure and Global Reconfiguration of The Field Urszula Pawlicka Deger Trans, Guo Jianan Digital Humanities Research    2023, 3 (1): 24-37.   Abstract （106）      PDF（pc） （1420KB）（93）       Knowledge map    Save How do the power dynamics of actors in digital knowledge production define the contours of global sci- ence and humanities? Where are scholars now in their efforts to improve a networked,global academic system based on the values of equal access to resources,inclusive participation,and the diversity of epistemologies? This article inter- venes in these questions by discussing social dimensions of global knowledge infrastructure—connection,standardiza- tion,and access—to understand the specification and materialization of global digital humanities ( DH). As digital practices expand across the world,the DH community struggles to ensure inclusive participation and equal opportunities in developing the field. This article shows that discrepancies in global DH lie at the root of existing infrastructure ine- qualities. Drawing on science and technology studies,it then argues that in order to overcome these imbalances,the aca- demic community can seek the ‘ infrastructuring’ of DH. Infrastructuring is an analytical concept that shifts attention from ‘structure’ to ‘process’ of co-creation in the vein of participatory design that foregrounds public engagement, shared interest,and long-term relationships with stakeholders to create networks from which equal opportunities and new forms of connections can emerge. This would involve building an inclusive network of unique nodes of local com- munities on top of the global knowledge infrastructure. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics | Comments（0）

Reflection on the Method of Gathering of Scattered Literature in the Digital Humanity Era Tang Chen Zhang Ping Digital Humanities Research    2023, 3 (2): 31-38.   Abstract （111）      PDF（pc） （1377KB）（91）       Knowledge map    Save In the era of digital humanities, the work of gathering scattered literature puts forward two requirements for scholars. First, we should continue the experience of Gathering of Scattered Writings, Bibliography and Textualcriticism, and actively connect with the latest technology in the field of digital humanities. In the preliminary preparation stage, the scope of literature should be defined in combination with the traditional experience of bibliography. At the stage of deep excavation and expansion, digital humanistic means such as GIS and Social Network Analysis should be used to assist in our work. In the stage of editing and proofreading, we should pay close attention to the objects for a long time, and repeatedly use the latest data and databases to carry out the continuation and proofreading. In the stage of counterfeit identification, we should flexibly use the traditional life textual research method and the digital textual research method. The second requirement is to use various databases and tools flexibly. For searchable databases, keywords need to be set in advance and supplemented and adjusted at any time based on the collected data. Among the existing search-type databases, the local chronicles database has the greatest potential for our work and is worth strengthening. For the image database that cannot be full-text retrieved, we can compile a thematic index or build a title database by self, so as to establish a new growth point for our work. In addition, some commonly used databases in other fields, such as CNKI and DUXIU, can sometimes provide unexpected help for our work too. Related Articles | Metrics | Comments（0）

Virtual Museums as An Extended Museum Experience:Challenges and Impacts for Museology,Digital Humanities,Museums and Visitors —in Times of (Coronavirus) Crisis Bernadette Biedermann Trans. Gao Yan Digital Humanities Research    2023, 3 (2): 15-30.   Abstract （173）      PDF（pc） （12541KB）（86）       Knowledge map    Save Since there has been a recent trend to establishing virtual museums,which various institutions have swiftly responded to,the objective of this paper is to understand the nature of virtual and / or digital museums by focusing on their particular characteristics. In this approach,the paper proceeds from the assumption that museum representations in the virtual space and / or virtual museums could extend conventional or physical museum space,leading to enhanced visitor attraction and experience. The paper thus focuses on the virtual museum as an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary object of investigation from the perspective of museology and digital humanities and seeks to ascertain whether scholarly and practical impacts are achieved. It also analyses the expected impacts on practical museum work and visitor needs,especially with respect to the tasks museums are required to fulfil in times of crisis.

This paper presents an overview of the ROSSIO Infrastructure, its main objectives, the institutions involved, and the services offered by the infrastructure’s aims through its platform—namely, a discovery portal, digital exhibitions, collections, and a virtual research environment. These services rely on a metadata-aggregation solution for bringing the digital objects’ metadata from the providing institutions into ROSSIO. The aggregated datasets are converted into linked data and undergo an enrichment process based on controlled vocabularies, which are developed and published by ROSSIO. The paper will describe this process, the applications involved, and how they interoperate. We will further reflect on how these services may enhance the dissemination of science, considering the FAIR principles. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics | Comments（0）

An On-Site Study and Its GIS Presentation of the Grand Canal in Painting Album of the Great Canal Journeys by Qian Gu and Visual Travelogue of a Journey Through the Waterways by Zhang Fu of Ming Dynasty Chien Chin-Sung Liao Hsiung-Ming　Wang Yong　Zhang Shujun Tang Chen　Yan Cheng　Xie Dinghong Digital Humanities Research    2023, 3 (2): 50-115.   Abstract （104）      PDF（pc） （75142KB）（80）       Knowledge map    Save Qian Gu(钱穀)’s Painting Album of the Great Canal Journeys(《纪行图册》)was based on Wang Shizhen(王世贞)’s Shi Jin Ji Xing(《适晋纪行》)in the fourth year of the Longqing reign (1570) in June and was painted into 32 scenes from Cangshan Xiaozhi Garden(仓山小祗园) to Yangzhou Yangzi Bridge( 扬州扬子桥). Zhang Fu(张复)’s Visual Travelogue of A Journey Through the Waterways(《水程图》)was drawn on the boat going north when Wang Shizhen entered the position of Taipu(太仆) in the second year of Wanli (1574) in February. He depicted 52 scenes from Shao Bo(邵伯)to Tongzhou(通州). Both works were done in a realistic style and are considered exceptional in the Ming dynasty’s painting history. This article uses the on-site study method to undertake three tasks. First,since Wang Shizhen’s trip to the north coincided with the Great Canal’s changing period during the completion of the Longqing Xinhe(隆庆新河)and the discussion of the Jiahe(泇河),this article intends to digitize all the waterways they passed through. Second,Qian Gu stated that he wanted to record the true landscape at that time,so this article uses travel diaries,local gazetteers,ancient and modern maps,and my own research results through the on-site study to explain each illustration and verify the degree of realism depicted by the painters. Third,the value of the more than 80 scenes is like discovering a large box of Ming dynasty videotapes. This article will reveal the true appearance of the Great Canal in the Ming dynasty in a visual and expressive manner through the true nature of the scenes. Related Articles | Metrics | Comments（0）

Transcend the Generation Gap: A Computational Film Study on Chinese Films from the 1990s Li Yi, Chen Tao Digital Humanities Research    2023, 3 (1): 79-94.   Abstract （139）      PDF（pc） （18847KB）（71）       Knowledge map    Save The method of computational film studies promises a new approach to studying films with statistics and big data. It aims at analyzing formal characteristics of films systematically and digitally in order to fulfill alternative historical narratives and theoretical potential. In this approach,this paper,from the perspective of computational film studies,explores diachronic changes of the formal characteristics in Chinese films from the 1990s by using the online platform and its software,cinemetrics,which includes cutting rates,average shot length,and shot movements. Based on the visualization of relevant statistics,this paper not only re - examines the discourses on generation gaps among different directors throughout the history of contemporary Chinese films,but also re - maps the stylistic characteristics of different directors. It argues that the average shot length of the Chinese movies has declined since 1990s,which results from the market - oriented reform in Chinese film industry. In other words,the pace of contemporary Chinese films becomes faster and faster. During this period, contradictions and choices between " fast " and " slow " have transcended the classification of different generations,as well as its political preconditions,becoming a fundamental problem that all films and directors must solve. In this case,different solutions to this problem provide us new links and categories beyond traditional film studies,and eventually create two modes of acceleration aesthetics.

The Digital Turn in Early Modern Japanese Studies Zhou Ruiqi Guan Fanyi Digital Humanities Research    2023, 3 (2): 116-128.   Abstract （90）      PDF（pc） （5106KB）（69）       Knowledge map    Save Hosted by the University of Cambridge, the international symposium “The Digital Turn in Early Modern Japanese Studies” was held online from December 2nd to 4th,2022. “Early Modern Japan” is one of the most rapidly advancing and fertile fields in Japanese digital humanities research at this stage,and this conference showcased the characteristics of current Japanese DH research to some extent. The application of digital technologies and tools, such as OCR technology,the IIIF framework,GIS systems,and high - magnification digital microscopes,has pushed forward research on many fundamental issues in early modern Japanese studies,including handwriting recognition and reading. Also,digital humanities research has made excellent achievements in art,literature,and print culture,further promoting the accessibility of resources and the revitalization of traditional disciplines. At the same time,challenges like unresolved technical issues and the adaptability of digital resources still existed,as well as issues regarding the research environment,concepts,and ethics. Last but not least,some research perspectives shown at the conference could inspire Chinese digital humanities research,such as the emphasis on constructing portal websites and awareness of serving a wider range of people.

Towards 2030 Cross-generational Research of the Metaverse: The Strategic Proposal for Digital Humanities of Chinese Opera Education Wang Tai-jui Digital Humanities Research    2022, 2 (4): 38-62.   Abstract （166）      PDF（pc） （26300KB）（59）       Knowledge map    Save It is of great significance to assist the contemporary expression of Chinese opera,which is the cultural gene of the Chinese nation,with the power of scientific and technological innovation. Applying metaverse-related production technologies such as XR (VR/ AR/ MR) related software and hardware,volumetric capture ,motion capture, and 3D holographic images,etc. ,to explore the construction process of excellent performers,will assist in the Chinese opera education and training. This will also be able to achieve a new format of digital culture with a more comprehensive overall planning and design encompassing man, machine, environment, etc. in education, learning, creation,research,industry-university cooperation,etc. The " Strategic Proposal for Digitalization of Chinese Opera Education" was formed based on the above-mentioned related research. It is a cross-field combination of art (Chinese opera),education (technology),and research (experiment). The 2030 metaverse generation requires the index quality needed for the professional education of Chinese opera art in order to enhance the performance ability of practitioners of various opera types and the appreciation ability of young audiences. It is also expected to generate new generations of opera literacy education in the context of Chinese culture on both sides of the strait and even around the world. In this way,a new thinking force that is like the cross-field category of the Renaissance will gradually be interpreted in the big data of the artificial intelligence cloud era.

Smart Architectural and Urban Heritage:An Applied Reflection Stefano Brusaporci Pamela Maiezza Trans Trans. Xie Shuning Digital Humanities Research    2022, 2 (3): 50-60.   Abstract （108）      PDF（pc） （20846KB）（55）       Knowledge map    Save The aim of this paper is to present the use of 3D models and augmented reality(AR)to study and communicate architectural and urban values and,therefore,favor the development of dedicated forms of “ smart heritage”.The study rises from a reflection on the concept of “heritage”,as defined in the international documents,intended as an evolving idea that puts together tangible and intangible aspects. Moreover,digital technologies favor “phygital” applications where the digital dimension support the traditional ones. In this way,AR allows the superimposition of multimedia information to heritage,respecting the historical matter of the artefacts,and supporting a “smart heritage” application. In particular,mobile AR,with real-time and ubiquitous visualizations,offers the opportunity to show past urban and architectural configurations to investigate and describe the transformations that have led to the current configuration,and consequently highlighting the present historical and architectural values of the buildings. Two case studies are presented:the square of St. Basilio Monastery,with its historical transformations,and the Basilica of Collemaggio,a pivotal building in the rites of “PerdonanzaCelestiniana”.

Naming taboo for Prince Yonglian, Hier Apparent Duanhui: An E-Textual Research Case Study Huang Yi-Long Digital Humanities Research    2023, 3 (1): 61-78.   Abstract （107）      PDF（pc） （30232KB）（43）       Knowledge map    Save This paper clarifies the naming taboo for Prince Yonglian,Hier Apparent Duanhui. By analyzing a large number of textual evidence in relation to this tabooing case,this study uses e - textual research to shed new light on the complex naming taboo practices during the Qing dynasty. The first known case of naming taboo on Yonglian's name occurred in the ninth year of Jiaqing reign. To show respect towards his late brother,Jiaqing emperor ordered the newly appointed prefect of Jinzhou,Shanlian,to change the second character of his name to another " lian. " However, any previously appointed officials with this character in their names were permitted to keep their names. The tabooing rule then applied to anyone who took the provincial level exams. But this regulation did not extend to lower level clerks and commoners. For this reason,the character " lian" was almost obsolete among higher level officials through the late Qing. Nevertheless,such taboo was not enforced in books ( both manuscript and print). While there were instances where authors avoided the character by using an alternative character or omitting the last stroke in the character,such tabooing practice was not consistent or commonplace. This proves that the naming taboo for Yonglian was nowhere regulated enough to be used as proof for dating texts. For example,Jia Lian,a major character in the Dreams of the Red Chamber shares the character " lian" with Prince Yonglian. But I argue that one cannot date a specific version of said book solely based on whether Jia Lian's name was altered (or not) in observation of the naming taboo.
