[Purpose/Significance]Kunqu is an outstanding cultural treasure of China.As an essential car-rier of Kunqu,Qupai,which integrates literature,music and history,is also an important resource element.This paper uses various digital tools and informatics methods to study the elements of Kunqu in order to reveal the inheritance of Chinese cultural genes.[Method/Process]Based on the theory and practice of digital humanities,it digitized the Kunqu opera scripts,Lin Chuan Four Dreams,excavated the distribution rules of the Qupai,and explored the objective characteristics.Firstly,it took data collection to find suitable resource sources for analysis,then verified Bradford's Law for specific Qupai samples selection,and finally visualized structured resources to realize an exploratory study of the knowledge units of Kunqu.[Result/Conclusion]Qupai of Kunqu opera fol-lows Bradford's Law.It selects 41 Qupai in the core area and classifies them into four categories according to the visualized Word Form,namely,basic consistency,seeking common ground while reserving differences,combin-ing primary and secondary,and blossoming of a hundred flowers.It discovers the variability of the use of Qupai Word Form by the same authors,and provides a new way of thinking for the protection and inheritance and de-velopment of the Kunqu opera.
