Digital Sinology数字汉学

Digital methods have revolutionized work in many areas of the humanities over recent decades, and the study of early China is no exception. Not only do specialist databases and other tools make available in an instant research materials that once might have taken weeks or months to locate, the internet opens up the possibility of immediately accessing such resources at a moment’s notice from virtually anywhere in the world. Researchers continue to push forward the boundaries of what is possible in the digital medium, and open access initiatives day by day broaden the availability of scholarly resources to those both inside and outside the realm of traditional academia. This site aims to promote the application of digital methods to the field of sinology and publicize the research results of those using these methods.

近几十年来，数字方法彻底改变了人文学科许多领域的工作，对早期中国的研究也不例外。专业数据库和其他工具不仅可以即时提供以前可能需要数周或数月才能找到的研究材料，而且互联网还提供了从世界上几乎任何地方立即访问此类资源的可能性。研究人员不断突破数字媒体的可能性，开放获取举措日益扩大对传统学术界内外的学术资源的可用性。本网站旨在推动数字化方法在汉学领域的应用，并宣传使用这些方法的研究成果。
