印度手稿数字化资源的建设实践、利用经验及其思考——以“手稿国家使命项目”为例

The Construction,Utilization and Reflections of Digitalizing Indian Manuscript Resources:A Case Study of National Mission For Manuscripts

印度拥有丰富的手稿资源,承载了知识、历史、文化与情感的深刻印记,是世界文化遗产中的璀璨明珠。为了更好地保护、传承与利用这些珍贵的人类宝藏,印度开展了众多手稿数字化项目。文章以其中凝聚印度全国力量开展的“手稿国家使命项目”为例,采用案例分析法,从确立手稿地域中心、制定统一数字化标准两方面解读该项目的手稿数字化建设特色,并发掘出该项目在设置儿童课程、开展青年辩论、举办专家讲座等方面的手稿数字化利用经验。基于此,建议我国从开展全国性手稿工作、统一规范数字化标准、鼓励公众广泛参与和开创多元宣传渠道4个方面入手,推动珍贵中文手稿的数字化建设与利用,使中华文化能够悠久传承,发扬光大。

India possesses abundant manuscript resources,bearing profound imprints of knowledge,history,culture,and emotions,which are the truly luminous gems in the crown of world cultural heritage.To better protect,transmit,and utilize these invaluable treasures,India has undertaken numerous manuscript digitization projects.This paper takes the National Mission For Manuscripts(NMM),a concerted nationwide effort,as an example.Employing a case study methodology,this paper interprets the distinctive features of manuscript digitization of the project,focusing on the establishment of manuscript regional centers and the formulation of a unified digitization standard.This paper further uncovers the project's experiences in utilizing digitized manuscripts for purposes such as children's courses,youth debates,and expert lectures.Based on these findings,this paper recommends that China should initiate a national manuscript endeavor,which involves undertaking comprehensive nationwide manuscript work,establishing a unified standard for digitization,encouraging broad public participation,and innovating diverse channels for promotion.Through these endeavors,China can effectively digitize and utilize its precious Chinese manuscripts,ensuring the enduring transmission and flourishing development of Chinese culture.
