Now it may be a problem that the digital humanities may face。To make the discussion further focus，I only take the author’s research experience as an example，First look at what the digital humanities that generally understand。A fact，In addition to the research on the late Qing Dynasty to contemporary literature in recent years，The author has always tried the possibility of combining digital humanities and modern literature research，I have written some related articles one after another，Participated in the construction of multiple databases (such as in March 2018 by the "Academic Map Release Platform" website, published the author's first digital humanistic work "Map of the Northwest of Cao Yu"。Many friends who are familiar or unparalleled，From this to determine that digital humanities are the digitalization of paper literature or research on digital literature historical materials，In fact, this is a misunderstanding。

If we can cooperate with IBM to compile the Latin language of the Latin in the theology of Tomas Aquina from 1949 and IBM as one of the origin of digital humanities.，So the history of digital humanities has been more than half a century.。I am，The development of digital humanities has gone through three stages。The first stage is the digitalization of paper literature; the second stage is to cooperate with the corresponding platform、Tools, etc.，Further processes the documents that have been digitized，In particular, the use of quantitative analysis and visual technology has deepened this impression; the third stage is undoubtedly humanistic academic and computing science、In -depth fusion of data science (D.M.Berry: UNDERSTANDING DIGITAL HUMANITIES，Palgrave Macmillan，2012）。Of course，bet365 live casino games In the first stage, there is a trend of a humanistic academic "computational turn，Therefore，Early term humanities' terms are "humanistic computing"，It is used to emphasize the use of computer technology in humanistic research。

With the rapid development of Internet technology，Digital or data instead of paper literature，becoming increasingly important information in human academic production，At the same time, more and more human scholars are aware of the use of digital technology、The method is to better understand humanistic academics。Therefore，The concepts of digital humanities or data humanities are successively proposed (such as the famous Blackwell Publishing Company in 2014 and renamed its regularly published "Humanities Computing Yearbook" to "Data Humanities"，Especially the word "Digital Humanities"，Go away，swept the world。Divided by the relevant department to date、Research Center，Also at Harvard University、The establishment of well -known European and American universities such as the University of London University，and provide a complete set of complete talent training programs from undergraduates to doctoral students，Digital humanities have also become a very dynamic cutting -edge academic field。Just as Professor Bao Yide (Peter K. Bol) said at the speech at the Digital Humanities International Summit Forum and Shanghai Normal University's Digital Humanities Research Center.，Digital Humanities Center is not only a research center，It is also a teaching center，A academic communication、Collaborative Center。

Development of digital humanities in China，Although it started more than ten years ago，But it did not really become an academic trend until nearly a year or two、Academic Fashion，Become a library learning、Intelligence、"Academic Hot Strings" in Disciplines and other disciplines，Also literary、History、Literature、Linguistics、Research on Art History bet365 live casino games and other fields constantly aroused enthusiasm for people to explore。Although in terms of its general academic level，China’s digital humanities may still be in the above first、The second stage，But not accidental，In the vast digital humanities field，Digital Literature、Digital History、Digital Literature、Calculating archives、Calculating Linguistics (Corgal Language Language)、Digital art and other new branches will achieve certain development in the future。

The development of artificial intelligence technology recently and its widely used application in all scenarios in social life worldwide，It also attracted the attention of critics。In addition to general digital humanities research，Review Technology、The algorithm brings to literature、The authority and technical hegemony of art and daily life，Ask the robot if it can be regarded as a person、Whether it has important issues such as human nature and their right to speak，It has also been proposed one after another。From this，"Robotic Humanities" becomes another attractive field，One seems to be able to replace digital humanities、Concepts that look more fashionable。A fact，The sci -fi novel "Rushamomo Robot" from Karel Capek's first launch of the robot's literature imagination，To 2016 Bionic Robot Sophia, Sophia obtained Saudi Arabia citizenship and symbolic significance it passed on，Both people and robots、The relationship between artificial intelligence becomes a topic that is difficult for scientists and humanist scholars，Especially with the birth of the large -scale robot group，The emergence of robot society，"Siber" and "post -human" society that walks between reality and the network seems to be no longer the heaven and night，but the future that goes not far。

For humanities，Under the stimulation of artificial intelligence technology，Many new questions come to face。Poems published by Microsoft Robot Xiaobing，Can it be regarded as bet365 live casino games the same work as a person? Tsinghua "Nine Songs -Artificial Intelligence Poetry Writing System" automatically produced poetry，Perhaps it is not a good poem in the traditional sense，But as far as it can be fully produced according to our needs，Can you already explain the energy of traditional poetry、Charm can still be activated by us again today，Or it has been exhausted、Falling into a "decorative art"? Another example，When the news writing of robotics and some online literature texts involved in the deepening of the robot，its originality、How should literature be defined?

other，Artificial intelligence technology is also very close to digital humanities，To a large extent, it has been involved in the development of digital humanities。Chinese Book Company、Books and other enterprises develop an online ancient book collation and sorting system，Books and other enterprises develop an online ancient book collation and sorting system，Not to mention natural language processing、Semantic Network Analysis、Knowledge map、The successful application of branches such as neural networks in the historical and humanistic big data environment，It is the most concerned aspect of the current field of digital humanities。All these seem to show us，Digital technology including artificial intelligence, including artificial intelligence、Method，The tool that has become a humanist must master or at least auxiliary research tools，And it will change our academic habits、Ecological。Some scholars even think that digital humanities are a new academic revolution。

But is this true? In the author's opinion，Not only the possibility of traditional academics still has strong vitality and innovative development (see the humble text "" Digital Humanities "and Traditional Academic)，And digital humanities and robots humanities, although they are the era of humanistic academic response in the digital age、A certain adaptation and change made by major bet365 live casino games concerns，Although it can help us understand the old problems in some aspects、Verify the old conclusion、Ask a new question，Restart our subject、Body、Humanity、Mind、Thinking of a series of important propositions such as rights，But as far as its long -term development is concerned，Perhaps there are also humanistic academic academics in "Calculation Criticism"，Therefore, it is more scientific、Lost human danger。

Although "humanity" is a concept that is difficult to define accurately，But at least we should admit: Compared with natural science，The conclusion of humanities may be difficult to be the only、fixed、Four seas are allowed，Many difficult to withstand repeated verification，There is no technical operation plan at all、Program for verification。Research results of humanities，Often due to the personality of the scholar、endowment、Academic training and specific aesthetic purpose、Ideological bias, etc.，presents a variety of differences。but，If we use the same database (corpus) for all problems、The same set of computer programs and analysis tools，After the same data mining、After analyzing operations，Will get the same conclusion，Is this humanistic academic research still what we need? Will it narrow the interpretation and imagination of humanistic academics?、Thought、Breaking the combination of individual humanities academic，Drawing into a pure technology、Experimental operation and endanger the development of "humanity" itself? Will it guide the worship of technology and algorithms?。

Not to mention，Maybe there are many scholars，Still looking forward to a computer that can often turn off the computer、Far away from the Internet，Countless can be studied concentrated、circle point、Exccasion、School reading，Thousands of years with books and authors、Moment when traveling with heart，instead of being deeply trapped in ‘thesis machine’ Bet365 app download and ‘college animal’ state cannot be extracted。This reading、State of thinking，Sometimes it appears as ‘according to the directory method，Read the literature of a certain theme one by one，Sometimes it purely represents the third reading method -aimless reading (Desultory Reading)，The existence of the latter reminds us，May wish to enjoy 'non -professional reading'、Contemplation、The fun of thinking。According to Aristotle、Bacon、Soseki Natsume、Lu Xun and others theory，Academic research is right，Arts and Creation Creation，Originally leisure、The results of the Yuyu，and leisure ‘it’ s a spiritual phenomenon ’‘ a state of soul ’‘ emphasizing an inherent kind of unreasonable concern，A calm，A silence，A state of inaction that is naturally natural '"(" Learning of Directory in the "Digital Humanities" Vision)。But the advent of the digital age，It has brought a certain negative impact on humanistic academic work: not only traditional reading、The skill of writing is going down，The attenuation period of academic achievements is from the original years、3857_3868，And more importantly，When we use the database skillfully、Digital tool、When the algorithm outputs a set of so -called humanistic academic research results，To how much can we comfort us or have begun to dry、Redemption of the original turbulent soul?

Also because of this，I think，Digital humanities，Robot humanities，Not only their center of gravity、The base is humanities，Its direction should also be humanities，It is a possibility for humanities (not necessarily successful) bet365 live casino games research orientation、Path，instead of the opposite，Turning its research results into digital academic and even digital economy、Modeling products (even "Drawn Academic Fast Food")。If we know the price we want to pay, it may be the inherent、rich "humanity"，So once you start to choose such a research orientation、Path，It is destined to feel that it is doubtful，The footsteps are faltering，Eyes are roaring、Flash，The tone of speaking is not so sound。

Of course，Test new academic orientation，or create possible new academics，Although it is not necessarily more clever than conservative tradition，But it is always a new attempt。Borrowing Mr. Lu Xun's words，"Hope is it that it doesn't matter，Nothing to say。This is just like the road on the ground; in fact, there is no road on the ground，More people are walking，It becomes a road "。
