SUMMARY:Cheng Yu-yu - Revolution in the Nation of Poetry: Physical and Linguistic Perspectives since 1919  (詩國革命的「漢語」脈絡)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Cheng Yu-yu\, National Taiwan University \nThis talk will be given in Mandarin. \nOnce Chinese poetry becomes “modern poetry\,” its so-called modernity must be discussed in the context of the modernity of “Chinese language” itself. From the late Qing and early Republican periods on\, when confronted with the invasion of such things as new lexicon\, new academic disciplines\, alphabetic languages\, and English grammar\, the Chinese language\, Chinese characters\, and the cultural tradition to which it belongs have never ceased responding to and reflecting upon such foreign forces. In examining this “modernizing” process of Chinese poetry\, which progressed from the question of “how to speak to the new world” to that of “how to reestablish a new relationship with the world\,” one cannot overlook the new ways of thinking of the Chinese language that emerged from and were constructed by various disciplines\, including grammatology\, philology\, phonology\, psychology\, and rhetoric studies. And in discussing “modern poetry\,” one should not disregard how figures such as Ma Jianzhong\, Liu Shipei\, Huang Ren\, Huang Kan\, Tang Yue\, Hu Pu’an\, Chen Wangdao\, and Li Anzhai\, as well as Chen Shih-Hsiang and Kao Yu-kung\, have consciously sought the basis upon which the Chinese language and Chinese characters depend for their existence and adaption to change. What lie at the very core of this basis are the “speakability” and the “manifestability” of the Chinese language. These concepts were engaged in a tug-of-war with the tumultuous modern vision prevalent since the late Qing\, exhibiting a well-matched rivalry that cannot be ignored. \n當漢語詩成為「『現代』詩」，這所謂「現代質地」（modernity）還是必須回到「漢語」的現代性來討論。晚清民初以來，面對新語詞、新學科、拼音文字、英語文法這些如同外來侵襲的事物，漢語、漢字及其所在的文化系統，從未停止回應與思考；從「如何向新世界開口發聲」到「如何重建與世界的新關係」，漢語詩「現代化」的進程裡，不應該忽視當時由語法學、文字學、音韻學、心理學、修辭學等不同領域出發而建構的漢語新思維，討論「現代詩」不應該忽略如馬建忠、劉師培、黃人、黃侃、唐鉞、胡樸安、陳望道、李安宅，以至於陳世驤或高友工等人，是如何自覺的去發現漢語、漢字所以存有與應變的依據，而其中允為核心的是漢語的「可發聲性」與「可體現性」，正與晚清以來高張喧騰的現代視線相互拉鋸，呈現不可輕忽的抗衡態勢。 \nProfessor Yu-yu Cheng\, Academician of Academia Sinica\, the Chair Professor of Chinese literature at National Taiwan University\, is devoted to developing pioneering and interdisciplinary interpretations of Chinese classical literature by combining the Eastern and Western humanistic thoughts. She enjoys an international reputation for her contribution to the discourses of space\, body\, and Chinese lyrical tradition. Cheng has published numerous books\, including “Literary Ch’i” in Six Dynasties Literary Theory\, The Situation Aesthetics in Six Dynasties\, Gender and Nation: Discourses of Encountering Sorrow in Han and Jin Rhapsodies\, The Poet in Text and Landscape: Mutual Definition of Self and Landscape\, Metaphor: Crossing Categorical Boundaries in Ancient Chinese Literature\, and Gesture and Language: A New Approach to the Revolution of a Poetic Tradition\, etc. \nPresented via Zoom.\nRegistration required.\nRegister at: https://harvard.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJYkd-GtqDosHtFLLK39YRE6hU_gP7MyM9sX

SUMMARY:Tao Leigh Goffe - "My Mother Told Me I am Chinese": Afro-Asian Aesthetics in the Caribbean
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Tao Leigh Goffe\, Assistant Professor in the Department of Africana Studies and the Department of Feminist\, Gender & Sexuality Studies\, Cornell University \nIn this talk\, Professor Tao Leigh Goffe will discuss the aesthetic challenge ‘Chinese’ poses as a racial category in the Caribbean. The introduction of Chinese as a category of labor to the West Indian plantation (Jamaica\, Trinidad\, Cuba) is a history she traces from 1803 to the present through the institution of “racial indenture” as a replacement from enslaved African labor\, chiefly on sugar plantations. Identifying common aesthetic strands of Chinese cosmology in artwork by people of Chinese descent with roots in the Caribbean\, Goffe asks questions about the Chinese haunting of the Caribbean plantation. \nMade possible by the generous support of the Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations \nPresented via Zoom\nJoin at: https://harvard.zoom.us/j/93136279659?pwd=VUo2cVBHRUE0ZnppM0hlUE56YWNtQT09

SUMMARY:Lucas R. Bender - The Eternal Frontier of China’s Cosmopolitan Empire: Changing Attitudes Towards Ethnocultural Others in Tang-Dynasty Texts
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Lucas R. Bender\, Yale University \nThe seventh and early-eighth centuries have often been considered the period of “China’s Cosmopolitan Empire” on account of their relative tolerance of religious and ideological diversity\, their acceptance of significant “foreign” populations in the capital and on the borderlands\, and their active recruitment of non-“Han” ethnicities into the military and civil ranks. At the same time\, however\, surviving texts from this period also evince attitudes no less xenophobic than those found in texts from the ninth through eleventh centuries\, when scholars have often claimed that China became less open to ethnocultural others. This talk will argue that what changes between these periods are not\, in fact\, contemporary attitudes towards “the barbarians\,” who were almost universally reviled in surviving texts from throughout the Tang. Instead\, changing ideas about texts themselves\, and about the ways that texts should ideally operate within the world\, produced a transformation in how longstanding and relatively unchanging tropes about ethnocultural others were understood and deployed. The apparent decline of elite “cosmopolitan” attitudes from the seventh century to the tenth thus reflects\, in significant part\, a shift in literary theory. \nLucas Rambo Bender is Assistant Professor of East Asian Languages & Literatures at Yale University. He graduated from Harvard’s Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations in 2016. His book on the great Tang-dynasty poet Du Fu is forthcoming in the summer of 2021 from the Harvard University Asia Center Press\, and he is currently at work on a second project\, about the oft-remarked but rarely-interrogated “pluralism” of the late Chinese middle ages. \nPresented via Zoom.\nRegistration required.\nRegister at https://harvard.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJcrc-yvrD8oH9KrvPpFFw9ytwB2Uicb5hlH.

SUMMARY:Daniel S. Markey and Andrew Small — China’s Western Horizon: Beijing and the New Geopolitics of Eurasia
DESCRIPTION:Speakers:\nDaniel S. Markey\, Senior Research Professor\, International Relations\, School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS)\, John Hopkins University\nAndrew Small\, Senior Transatlantic Fellow\, Asia Program\, The German Marshall Fund of the United States\nModerator: Nargis Kassenova\, Senior Fellow\, Program on Central Asia\, Davis Center; Associate Professor\, KIMEP University \n\n\n\nWatch live on YouTube. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nUnder the ambitious leadership of President Xi Jinping\, China is transforming its wealth and economic power into potent tools of global political influence. But its foreign policy initiatives\, such as the Belt and Road Initiative\, are shaped and redefined as they confront the ground realities of local and regional politics outside China. Daniel S. Markey\, in his new book China’s Western Horizon\, describes and analyzes these complex processes in South Asia\, Central Asia\, and the Middle East. Drawing from extensive interviews\, travels\, and historical research\, he provides the in-depth studies of the dynamics that China’s involvement in Pakistan\, Kazakhstan and Iran has created. Markey anticipates that China’s expanding influence will not bring greater stability and peace to this difficult part of the world\, and might exacerbate conflicts within and among Eurasian states. He argues that U.S. policy makers should have a clear grasp of local histories\, interests and relationships to effectively advance America’s specific diplomatic\, economic\, and security interests in Eurasia\, whether in common cause with Beijing or when working at cross purposes. At this event\, Daniel S. Markey will present some of the key arguments of his book. Andrew Small will discuss the book and provide an overview of the European perspectives on China’s engagement in Eurasia. Policy options for U.S. and European policy makers will be explored. \nMore info: https://daviscenter.fas.harvard.edu/events/china%E2%80%99s-western-horizon-beijing-and-new-geopolitics-eurasia

SUMMARY:Arnika Fuhrmann - In the Mood for Texture: Bangkok as a Chinese City
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Arnika Fuhrmann\, Associate Professor\, Department of Asian Studies\, Cornell University. \nWhat does it mean to imagine “Asia” beyond the reductive visions of contemporary policy? This project explores the contemporary visual culture of Chinese pasts and colonial modernities\, revived across the cinemas\, new media\, hospitality venues\, and other material sites of East and Southeast Asia. Examining the doubling of Hong Kong\, Bangkok\, and Shanghai across these sites\, it investigates how a transregional Chinese modernity that emerged under\, but always exceeded\, conditions of colonial and national governance informs the present. As film directors such as Wong Kar-wai and hotels\, bars\, and clubs revive 1930s Shanghai and 1960s Hong Kong modernities—and exploit the Chinese past of Bangkok’s old European trading quarters—this redeployment of (semi-)colonial histories and Chinese urban pasts is emerging as a primary signifier of the good life and understandings of Asia in the present. The deployment of this twentieth century translocal Chinese modernity points to enduring regional imaginaries that diverge from global notions of “China Rising\,” the People’s Republic’s own Belt and Road Initiative\, or the policies of the Association for Southeast Asian Nations. Bangkok—as a Chinese city—stands at the center of these prominent\, transregional revivals in which media and urban design projects speak of radically different desires than those of current policy. \nArnika Fuhrmann is an Associate Professor in the Department of Asian Studies at Cornell University. Her work on contexts in Southeast Asia is informed by affect\, gender\, urban and media theory. Her book Ghostly Desires: Queer Sexuality and Vernacular Buddhism in Contemporary Thai Cinema (Duke University Press\, 2016) examines how Buddhist-coded anachronisms of haunting figure struggles over sexuality\, personhood\, and notions of collectivity in contemporary Thai cinema and political rhetoric. She is currently working on a project called Digital Futures: South/east Asian Media Temporalities and the Expansion of the Sphere of Politics. \nThe talk is part of the ongoing East Asian Media Ecologies lecture series. Following a ten-minute presentation by Professor Fuhrmann are an extended conversation with the moderators and a Q&A with the attendees.  \nA zoom link will be posted closer to the event.

SUMMARY:Lyle Goldstein and Vitaly Kozyrev — From a ‘Marriage of Convenience’ to the ‘Axis of Authoritarianism’: Evaluating the Russia-China Relationship in the 21st Century
DESCRIPTION:Speakers:\nLyle Goldstein\, Research Professor\, China Maritime Studies Institute (CMSI)\, Naval War College\nVitaly Kozyrev\, Professor\, Political Science and International Studies\, Endicott College \n\n\n\nWatch live on YouTube. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nExamining contemporary Russia-China relations\, assessments by Western scholars yield a wide variety of perspectives and conclusions.  Some view the relationship as inherently brittle\, lacking in genuine substance and shot through with historical mistrust.  At the other end of the spectrum\, some hold that the relationship represents the most ominous possible threat to Western-style democracies.  This presentation will summarize and attempt to categorize these wide-ranging conclusions\, demonstrating that realists\, liberals and constructivists have all developed distinct interpretations of the Russia-China relationship and its meaning for global security.  Employing a case study approach\, this research makes detailed probes into Russia-China cooperation in five specific domains\, including Central Asia\, the Korean Peninsula\, the Arctic\, the Middle East\, and in the military domain more generally.  These case studies offer preliminary conclusions for a larger book-length study that aims to be one of the first truly comprehensive studies of this complex and consequential bilateral relationship.  Results to date illustrate a path between the two analytical extremes.  The relationship has already produced some very significant results in the given case studies.  On the other hand\, the threat of further developing Russia-China relations should not be exaggerated\, even as the subject demands increased scholarly attention. \nMore info: https://daviscenter.fas.harvard.edu/events/%E2%80%98marriage-convenience%E2%80%99-%E2%80%98axis-authoritarianism%E2%80%99-evaluating-russia-china-relationship-21st

SUMMARY:Deng Yanhua - Value Clashes\, Power Competition and Community Trust: Why an NGO’s Earthquake Recovery Program Faltered in Rural China
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Deng Yanhua\, Professor\, School of Social and Behavioral Sciences\, Nanjing University; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2020-21\nChair/discussant: Anthony Saich\, Daewoo Professor of International Affairs\, Harvard Kennedy School \nNGOs in rural China cannot operate successfully and achieve their goals if they lose the trust of the people they aim to serve and the grassroots leaders they must work with. Following the 2008 Sichuan earthquake\, an environmental NGO in P village became entangled in competition with village cadres and value clashes with villagers who had their own understanding of development\, sustainability and environmentalism. Initially\, “borrowed power” from higher-level governments enabled the ENGO to enter the community fairly smoothly and to gain a degree of trust\, but disputes with villagers (over home construction\, organic agriculture and eco-tourism) and a power struggle with local cadres (over their role in the village) triggered resistance that ultimately drove the ENGO out. The story of P village is a cautionary tale about power relationships and community micropolitics. “Borrowed power” from above is no match for opposition from below on two fronts. Sadly\, however\, “success” in expelling the ENGO has not meant success more broadly. P village’s economic performance remains weak and old divisions between the powerful and powerless have re-emerged\, as lack of trust in outsiders has been replaced with a lack of trust in insiders. \nPresented via Zoom\nRegistration Required\nRegister at: https://harvard.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2cmQYapggeGGx3D \nhttps://harvard-yenching.org/events/value-clashes-power-competition-and-community-trust-why-ngo-s-earthquake-recovery-program

SUMMARY:Bruce Rusk - Information and Its Objects:  Provenancing the Censers of the Xuande Court
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Bruce Rusk\, University of British Columbia \n\nThis presentation examines the textual existence of material objects in early modern China\, arguing that a new concept of the archive refigured the relationship between document and thing. The use of textual sources to understand the material culture of the past of course had a long history\, particularly in antiquarian studies; writing about ancient objects had an equally long pedigree. By the early eighteenth century\, however\, some writers grounded claims about artifacts in a new vision of textual sources as documents drawn from an archive. The model of the state archive (dang’an 檔案/dangzi 檔子\, Manchu dangse)\, a vital tool of governance in the Qing\, may have shaped the use of documents in other epistemic domains. I examine the case of the Xuande lu 宣德爐\, copper-alloy incense burners attributed to the early-Ming court\, and the various “registers” (pu 譜) that describe them and their provenance. These texts were crafted to support of tenuous claims\, since both the books and the artifacts whose history they provide are forgeries. Borrowing the concept of “documentality” from library studies\, I show how relations of documentation between artifact as document and document as object create a network of epistemological connections that establish meaning and value in the world. \nBruce Rusk (PhD History\, UCLA\, 2004) is Associate Professor in the Department of Asian Studies\, University of British Columbia. He studies the cultural history of early modern China (14th to 18th centuries)\, focusing on cultural practices of authentication and deception\, on the history of philology\, and cultural uses of writing and books. He has published a monograph on the history of classical scholarship (Critics and Commentators: The Book of Poems as Classic and Literature\, Harvard Asia Center\, 2012) and a co-translation of a short story collection (Zhang Yingyu\, The Book of Swindles: Selections from a Late Ming Collection\, with Christopher Rea\, Columbia UP\, 2017); is a co-editor of the forthcoming Literary Information in China: A History (with Jack Chen\, Anatoly Detwyler\, Liu Xiao\, and Christopher Nugent; Columbia UP\, 2021). He is currently writing a study of material and textual forgery in early modern and modern China. \n\nRegister in advance for this meeting:\nhttps://harvard.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJ0rde2hpjIpG9xhdYG4cfxKe9yowMMQNvme

SUMMARY:Nicolas Tackett - The Mechanics of Cultural Change in China in a Period of Disunity
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Nicolas Tackett\, University of California Berkeley \nSituated at the epicenter of the “Tang-Song Transition\,” the tenth-century interregnum between the Tang and Song dynasties was a period of rapid change. This talk will focus on the dramatic evolution of Chinese political culture\, as reflected in new political ideals\, new ideas of Chinese space\, and a new elite sense of identity. What underlying mechanisms account for these developments? Datasets and examples taken from an on-going book project suggest that cultural change was spurred by the particularities of the tenth century as a period of disunity. Although Chinese civilization has evolved continuously throughout its long history\, change during periods of disunity was driven by distinct causative factors\, which included political instability\, inter-regime competition\, elite migrations\, not to mention the process of reunification itself. \nNicolas Tackett is Professor of History at U.C. Berkeley. He is the author of two books. The Destruction of the Medieval Chinese Aristocracy (2014) examines how a network of powerful families survived at the pinnacle of political power for centuries only to disappear into oblivion suddenly and completely at the turn of the 10th c. The Origins of the Chinese Nation (2017) argues that a national consciousness emerged in China in the eleventh century (i.e.\, much earlier than typically assumed)\, and explores how this new consciousness was a product of the diplomatic environment of 11th-c. Northeast Asia. \nPresented via Zoom.\nRegistration required.\nRegister at https://harvard.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJIuf-uqrz8uGNdQbNpKcTEXXRzRvo5dR5Vb

SUMMARY:Jinying Li - Walled Media\, Mediating Walls
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jinying Li\, Brown University \nAs the global digital network promises boundless access to limitless information\, we are facing increasing layers of mounting walls in digital media: the Great Firewall (GFW)\, the Facebook Walls\, the virtual walls in virtual realities…. The existence of the walls shatters the myth of an infinitely open\, borderless digital space\, and highlights the significant functions of certain types of digital apparatus in managing\, controlling\, and mediating information\, knowledge\, and experience. A wall\, in its graphic signification and structural function\, is not only a boundary for demarcation but also a surface for expression. It is an object of both blockage and revelation. Drawing upon the “window” metaphor\, I argue that it is the wall rather than the window that fundamentally structures and defines digital media. Shifting the metaphor from “window” to ”wall” is a theoretical reconsideration of modern media not simply as systems of visual representation but as spatial organization. \nJinying Li is Assistant Professor of Modern Culture and Media at Brown University\, where she teaches media theory\, animation\, and digital culture in East Asia. Her essays have been published in Film International\, Mechademia\, the International Journal of Communication\, Journal of Chinese Cinemas\, Asiascape\, Asian Cinema\, and Camera Obscura. She co-edited two special issues on Chinese animation for the Journal of Chinese Cinemas\, and a special issue on regional platforms for Asiascape: Digital Asia. She recently completed her first book\, Geek Pleasures: Anime\, Otaku\, and Cybernetic Affect and began her second book project\, Walled Media and Mediating Walls. Jinying is also a filmmaker and has worked on animations\, feature films\, and documentaries. Two documentary TV series that she produced were broadcasted nationwide in China through Shanghai Media Group (SMG). She is one of the co-writers of animated feature film Big Fish and Begonia (Dayu Haitang\, 2016) \nThe talk is part of the ongoing East Asian Media Ecologies lecture series. Following a ten-minute presentation by Professor Li are an extended conversation and Q&A with the moderators and attendees.\nMade possible by the generous support of the Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations. \nPresented via Zoom.\nLog on at: https://harvard.zoom.us/j/91095850811?pwd=TlBHM3hDL1kwSkJaQmhFdi9hVG1Ndz09\nMeeting password: 254290

SUMMARY:Olga Lomová - European Dream About Chinese Poetry in Sinological Research:  The Cases of Vasiliv Alekseyev (1881–1951)  and Jaroslav Průšek (1906–1980)
DESCRIPTION:[et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.22″][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”]Via Zoom Meeting \nSpeaker: Olga Lomová\, Charles University in Prague \nIt is a well-known fact that since the late nineteenth century many Western modernists were fascinated by ancient Chinese poetry believed to be congenial to their new aesthetics. While Ezra Pound is a notorious example in the English-speaking world\, Pauline Yu and others have also demonstrated the crucial role of a much lesser known French poet and translator Judith Gautier (1845-1917) in promoting her version of Chinese poetry around Europe. Early translations of Chinese poetry by Western poets were shaped rather by their own taste for literary experiment than by serious inquiry into the complexity of Chinese poetic art\, and they are justly not included in the history of western sinology. However\, there were also sinologists who did substantial pioneering research into the history of Chinese literature and whose interest in the subject was nevertheless driven by similar modernist sensibility. I will present two European scholars who were among the first to write about Chinese poetry in European scholarship\, and discuss how the modernist aesthetics shaped their research. Using the cases of a Russian scholar V. Alexeyev\, and a Czech Jaroslav Průšek\, I will ask a question: how much preconceived notions about Chinese poetry inspired by earlier translations conditioned their understanding of Chinese literature\, and to what extent they helped them arrive at a breakthrough in Chinese literature studies. \nOlga Lomová is professor of Chinese literature at Charles University in Prague. Her research and teaching comprise Chinese poetry\, literary aesthetics\, and translation. She frames her research in questions of intellectual transformation in 20th century China\, interplay of ideology and culture in the PRC\, and history of sinological research in Europe with special focus on the Prague School. Currently she heads a research group on intercultural communication between East and West within a large transdisciplinary project KREAS at the Charles University Faculty of Arts. \nConducted via Zoom Meeting.\nRegistration Required.\nRegister at: https://harvard.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJ0sf-2qqj8qEt1suBi_342kgpb6delQCu5E\n[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

SUMMARY:Audrye Wong and Alex Yu-Ting Lin - Rising China in a Changing Asia
DESCRIPTION:Speakers:\nAlex Yu-Ting Lin\, predoctoral research fellow\, Belfer Center’s International Security Program; Ph.D. candidate at the University of Southern California\nAudrye Wong\, Grand Strategy\, Security\, and Statecraft postdoctoral fellow\, Belfer Center; postdoctoral fellow; Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies \nModerator: Grace Headinger\, Operations Coordinator\, Belfer Center \nOver the past decade\, China’s emergence as a geopolitical leader in Asia has upended the region’s U.S.-led economic and security status quo. As both the U.S. and China vie for influence over other Asia-Pacific states\, both countries are locked in an international rivalry that threatens to erupt into conflict. Furthermore\, their diverging economic and security priorities paint two distinctly different visions for the region with greater implications for the global stage. \nDr. Audrye Wong and Alex Yu-Ting Lin\, International Security Program research fellows at the Belfer Center\, will discuss their research on great power competition in the Asia-Pacific region\, from whether China’s Belt-and-Road Initiative translates into tangible\, political outcomes\, to why Chinese influence among the region’s smallest states will define its likelihood for future conflict\, to how COVID-19 will impact U.S.-China strategic competition. They will also share stories of their academic paths and answer your questions about pursuing international security research as a career. \nRSVP required for this event.

SUMMARY:The Stories We Tell and the Objects We Keep: Asian American Women and the Archives
DESCRIPTION:The stories of Asian American women extend far beyond the geographic borders of the United States. Inspired by tales and objects from family history\, their narratives often reflect the transnational nature of Asian American women’s lives. Despite the importance of these narratives to expanding and complicating our understanding of war\, migration\, inequity\, and difference\, the accounts and perspectives of Asian American women have often been overlooked in formal records\, and the tangible objects providing critical evidence of their histories have been ignored. \nThis half-day program will bring together Asian American activists and artists\, including novelists\, filmmakers\, playwrights\, and photographers\, to share the stories that inspire their craft and the objects they retain as part of their personal histories. \nTo register and to view a full list of speakers\, visit www.radcliffe.harvard.edu/event/2020-stories-we-tell-objects-we-keep-conference. \nThis event is free. Registration is required.

SUMMARY:Bin Li - From History Books to Digital Humanities Database: Methods\, Tools\, and Case Studies of Chinese Classics
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence technology has rapidly changed the study form of humanities. In this presentation\, we will discuss the key issues in using natural language processing\, deep learning\, GIS\, database and visualization technologies to design a new digital humanities database from the electronic texts of ancient books. We will introduce automatic tagging tools for ancient Chinese sentence/word segmentation\, named entity tagging. Then\, we will present a case study of constructing the DH database of Chinese classics Zuozhuan(左傳)\, Shiji(史記) and Shijing(詩經)\, which offers word based multi-functional retrieval in addition to the full-text retrieval. Data analysis and visualization also reveal new facts from the texts\, such as the personal social relations and travelling distance. Finally\, we discuss the potential improvements and applications of the DH database. \nSpeaker: Bin Li\, Visiting Scholar of CBDB group at IQSS\, Harvard University. Associate Professor of Applied Linguistics in the School of Chinese Language and Literature\, Nanjing Normal University
