The Digitization of Ancient Texts and the Paradigm Innovation in Traditional Poetics
The aggregation of various electronic poem texts has given rise to a vast collection of macrotexts and hypertexts.The advancement of technologies such as word segmentation,annotation,and semantic technique has further driven the development of poetic knowledge towards fine-grained and high-dimensional analysis.Databases,functioning as a form of text,have reset the classical order of poems and prompted a redefinition of poetic concepts,shifting from substances to relationships.Empirical research has made up for the shortage of standards and remedied the arbitrariness in interpretation,re-establishing poetics as a technical discipline and enhancing its scientific validity and legitimacy.Meanwhile,modelling and algorithms have brought to light latent variables,hidden knowledge and implicit contexts,highlighting the intertextuality and non-locality of texts,and underscoring the role of humans in the chain of meaning.The in-depth development of ancient textual digitization,knowledge enhancement,and multimodal large language models has led to a systematic transformation in poetics,from the reshaping of the classics,the reconstruction of concepts,and the restructuring of relationships to the re-evaluation of values.
