In the era of big data, archival data is quantified, multimodal and fragmented, and archivaldata urgently needs to be transformed into archival resources and knowledge. And challenges also existin the integration, mining, reconstruction and dissemination of archival resources. At present, Chinais in the exploration phase of developing both theoretical frameworks and practical approaches forarchival digital narrative and multimodal archival resources. This paper aims to construct a feasible andscalable multimodal archival narrative development model to guide archives and GLAM institutions tocarry out archival narrative development work more effectively, so as to innovate the mode of archivaldevelopment, its utilization and service. Using the digital narrative theories of Seymour Chatman andMarie-Laure Ryan as an analytical framework, it conducts a case analysis of the narrative structure ofthe “Shanghai Municipal Archives” digital humanities platform developed by the Shanghai MunicipalArchives. Based on the results of the case study, it identifies the opportunities and challenges in the field,and offers strategic solutions that can be replicated. Findings indicate that archives should strengthen theconstruction of multimodal resources, align narrative intentions with social interests, move beyond thetraditional thinking of archival narrative arrangement, enrich narrative logic, and develop Internet-basednarrative products, so as to present archival content and meet the immersive and interactive needs of the public. The study concludes that digital narrative is an effective development model that fits the technicaland public characteristics of multimodal archival resource systems

In 1933, the Dream of the Red Chamber and the Lone Swan (Selections), published by Shanghai Pei-sin Book Co, Ltd, has been regarded as an important translated and edited version in the history of the English renditions of Hong Lou Meng. However, this version has not been profoundly studied by academics so that the relevant discourse about it is full of fallacies. Based on the original documents, it can be found that the translations of Hong Lou Meng in Pei-sin version are totally selected from the abridged English version Dream of the Red Chamber (1929) by Wang Chi-chen. Therefore, Yuan Jiahua and Shi Min are selectors and glossators, but not translators. The base text of Wang’s version is the Cheng Jia edition Hong Lou Meng, but the base text of the Chinese characters in Pei-sin version is the Cheng Yi edition Hong Lou Meng. In the whole work, Yuan and Shi selected renditions, named and translated the chapter titles, edited Chinese manuscripts, and wrote 153 annotations and 18 commentaries. Although the Hong Lou Meng selected and annotated by Yuan and Shi is not an independent translation, it still has unique documentary value as an abridged translation from Wang’s rendered text.

This paper supplements the previous brief introduction of Lu Wen, who is the publisherof the Ming movable version of Mozi, and reconstructs a more complete process of the collection thanthe past vein of Huang Pilie, Haiyuan Pavilion and Pan Chenghou. Examining in detail the similaritiesand differences between the Daozang version and the Ming movable version of Mozi, confirms that thelatter is derived from the former, rather than the Neifu version, the Tang Yaochen version or the Songversion determined by Huang Pilie, Ye Dehui, Wu Yujiang and others. The relationship between the Mingmovable version of Mozi and the Tang Yaochen version is actually one source generates two streams.In addition to the obvious heritage value, the Ming movable version of Mozi also has certain collationvalue. At the same time, Lu Wen tried out Mozi, so that Tang Yaochen’s new publication and Jiang Fan’sreprinting promoted the spread and reading of Mozi. In addition, Narrative of New Publication of Mozi byLu Wen has certain enlightenment significance for the study of Mohism.

After about two thousand years of rough development, antiquarian book trade in China had alreadybeen in decline by the mid to late 1980s. Although industry insiders and outsiders have called for suggestionsand the antique book industry has taken proactive measures to help oneself, the dream of revitalizing theantique book industry has ultimately been shattered. This article analyzes three main contradictions containedin Chinese antiquarian book trade: namely old and new, private and public, loss and profit. These contradictionsdeprive the business entity and business model of antiquarian book trade, undermine the enthusiasm for booksource mining and management, the flexibility of the book market response, and the consciousness of talentcultivation in the industry. There are problems such as the gradual depletion of antique and old book sources,the inability to sustain profits, and the lack of targeted support policies. Therefore, it is believed that this is theresult of the one-size-fits-all policy of the current government and political system towards the antique bookindustry, which should be taken as a historical mirror

For a long time, most scholars mistakenly believed that the Ming handwritten edition ShuoYuan , which is collected in National Library of China, is the edition on which the Si Bu Cong Kanwas printed. Due to the easy availability of the Si Bu Cong Kan Text, scholars no longer paid attention to where its text came from, resulting in two different editions being regarded as the same by latergenerations. Ming handwritten edition Shuo Yuan is different from the Si Bu Cong Kan Text in terms offont, circulation, content, taboo and description. It clearly shows that the Ming banknote edition ShuoYuan is earlier than the base edition of the Si Bu Cong Kan Text. It is also a better edition with more complete content, less error and earlier source, especially in terms of taboo and content. In addition, this version can also be used to revise the content of the Song Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty versions, which isvery worthy of our attention and use.

The dissemination of fake short videos can trigger information risks and thus harm the network ecology. By revealing how different multimodal semantic manipulations in fake short videos influence user trust, this study aims to inhibit the spread of fake short videos from a user-centered perspective. Taking science and technology short videos as a case study, we selected three topics with low user awareness. Guided by information manipulation theory, we applied semantic manipulations—fabrication, concealment, misinterpretation, ambiguity, and incitement—across three modalities: text,audio, and image. A controlled experiment (3*5=15; N=48) was conducted alongside semi-structuredinterviews (N=24) to analyze variations in user-perceived trust. There are significant differences inusers’ perceived trust based on semantic manipulations in different modalities: ① At the text level, usersexhibited higher trust in text fabrication, but lower trust in text concealment, ambiguity, and incitement.② At the audio level, users showed higher trust in audio fabrication and concealment, but lower trust inaudio incitement. ③ At the image level, users perceived more trust in image fabrication but less trust inimage incitement.

This study adopts a digital humanities approach, leveraging digital technologies to conduct multidimensional knowledge discovery on ancient poets. It explores the resources of ancient poets across the dimensions of “human” and “text”, “time” and “space”, “far” and “near”, aiming to form a synergy with traditional research on ancient poets and enhance the depth and breadth of literary and cultural history research. The study begins by constructing a knowledge ontology model for ancient poets, providing astructured framework for subsequent data organization. The extracted knowledge is then stored in the graph database Neo4j, GIS database ArcGIS Pro, and Gephi software. Finally, knowledge discovery is realized across three key areas: knowledge retrieval, knowledge association, and knowledge inference.In particular, knowledge discovery, based on spatiotemporal trajectories, includes spatiotemporal distribution, spatiotemporal trajectories, and spatiotemporal discovery; whereas knowledge discovery, based on social networks, includes overall network, individual network, and relationship discovery.Through case studies of four famous poets in the Tang Dynasty, this study presents the lives, works, and social backgrounds of ancient poets from multiple dimensions, providing new research perspectives for traditional humanities scholars.

The rapid growth of academic papers and the increasing degree of specialization in disciplinary fields pose higher demands on automatic classification methods. This paper investigates the applicability of large language models (LLMs) in classifying academic papers in the humanities and social sciences. It compares the performance of traditional machine learning models and LLMs (including Qwen-7B, Llama2-7B, Llama2-7B-hsse, and GPT4), through subject classification experiments. It further explores the performance of LLMs across different scales of labeled data. The study shows that the domain-specific large language model Llama2-7B-hsse exhibits a significant advantage with an overall classification F1-score of 89.22% across 21 categories, while requiring only one-fifth of the training data needed by the benchmark model SsciBERT. The findings highlight the effectiveness of domain incremental training and fine-tuning strategies based on large language models for enhancing automatic classification, especially in resource-limited scenarios, while providing new ideas for knowledge organization and interdisciplinary research.

The research explores the heterogeneity of attitudes and behaviors of teachers in the field of information resource management in universities towards Generative AI tools, with the aim of identifying potential categories that could promote the broader application of these tools in higher education and research. Based on the technology acceptance model, planned behavior theory, and social AI cognition, a perception model is developed to assess attitude and behavior towards the use of Generative AI tools. Data is collected through questionnaires, and the latent profile analysis method is used to identify categories of teacher perceptions. The influence of demographic factors on these potential categories is also explored. The findings reveal three potential categories: high-perception, positive adoption users; limited-perception, strategic exploration users; and low-perception low-trust users. There is a significant difference in the proportion of teachers in each category across universities, with both homogeneity within the categories and heterogeneity between categories. These categories have the possibility of mutual transformation. Gender, age, and disciplinary background are key influencing factors. The differences stem from psychological attitudes towards technological innovation and responses to the social environment. Based on these insights, targeted strategies can be developed to promote the wider and deeper application of Generative AI tools in universities.
