大数据视阈中的明代登科录研究——以余姚进士家族为中心

Studies on Imperial Examination Records in the Ming Dynasty——In the Vision of Big Data

信息技术特别是大数据及其相关技术的应用,对文学、史学等领域产生了重要影响。通过对明代登科录进行数据分析、数据挖掘,能够自动提取整个明代的进士信息。本文以浙江余姚为例,依据登科录自动提取该地可能出自同一家族的所有进士信息。在此基础上,与已经数字化了的方志、宗谱等相关文献结合,最终梳理出进士家族。这一过程的自动化实现,是大数据与明代科举研究相结合的新尝试。

The application of information technology,especially the big data and related technology,has greatly influenced the studies of literature,history,etc. By means of data analyzing and data mining the imperial examination records of the Ming Dynasty,the entire information about Jinshi could be completely extracted automatically.Taking Yuyao,a city in Zhejiang province for example,this article extracts all the information about Jinshi from the same clan automatically according to the Imperial Examination Records. Based on this,as well as combined with the digitized documents such as local chronicles and genealogy,the Jinshi clan could be analyzed systematically. This automatic process was a new approach of combining big data with research on imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty.
