大规模古籍文本在中国史定量研究中的应用探索

The Tentative Exploration on the Quantitative Study of Large-scale Ancient Texts in Chinese history

利用新的信息技术与面向数字人文研究的跨学科方法,采用大数据研究理念对古籍文本进行字词的历时词频分布规律可视化分析,以中国史定量研究为例,对部分中国史的经典宏观理论从量化角度进行了初步验证。认为大数据视域下的技术逻辑和人文逻辑相耦合的数字人文研究为人文社会科学经典理论的验证和拓展提供了更多研究空间与研究方法,有利于推进古籍文献深层次的开发与利用。

This research is an attempt in the deep development and utilization of ancient books and documents by using new information technology and method of digital humanity under the scope of big data. With word frequency statistical analysis as the research focus, it realizes real time on-line visible quantitative analysis of the word frequency and distribution in ancient documents and literatures, with a case study of the quantitative analysis of Chinese history. It also carries on the preliminary validation from angle of quantitative for part of Chinese history of the classical macroscopic theory. Digital humanity is a new research pattern using new information technology and humanity method within the scope of big data, which not only brings a new way of research for traditional humanity and social sciences, but also broadens mode of deep development and utilization for the ancient literature resources.
