Abstract

The digitalization and arrangement of ancient documents are of great significance in the research of Chinese language and literature. This paper aims to explore the methods of digitalizing and arranging ancient documents and their application in the research of Chinese language and literature. Firstly, this paper introduces the background and significance of digitalizing and arranging ancient documents, emphasizing that digitalization can provide convenient access, promote the preservation and dissemination of documentary resources. Secondly, this paper summarizes the technologies and methods of digitalizing and arranging ancient documents, including scanning, text recognition, database construction, etc. Through digitalization, ancient documents can be transformed into searchable and editable electronic texts, providing great convenience for researchers. Then, this paper explores the application of digitalizing and arranging ancient documents in the research of Chinese language and literature. The digitalized documentary resources provide researchers with more comprehensive and accurate documentary materials, expanding the research perspective. Researchers can conduct bibliometric analysis, theme research, text comparison, etc., through the digitalized data, thus deeply exploring the development and evolution of Chinese language and literature. Finally, this paper looks ahead to the future development of digitalizing and arranging ancient documents and the research of Chinese language and literature. With the continuous progress of digital technology, the digitalization and arrangement of ancient documents will become more precise and efficient, providing researchers with more research paths and ideas.
