大浪淘沙見真金（上）| 看寧諾師生挖掘埋藏在歷史長(zhǎng)河中的寶貴財(cái)富

作為一直致力于保護(hù)、傳承寧波歷史文化的踐行者，寧波歷史數(shù)字人文項(xiàng)目的組員們正在經(jīng)歷著一個(gè)繁忙而充實(shí)的暑期。就在上個(gè)月，項(xiàng)目組剛參加完2023海絲之路文化和旅游博覽會(huì)，向大眾展示了項(xiàng)目最新的研究成果。

寧波歷史數(shù)字人文項(xiàng)目由寧波諾丁漢大學(xué)發(fā)起，是一個(gè)圍繞寧波歷史開展主題研究的大型跨學(xué)科項(xiàng)目，其研究領(lǐng)域涵蓋地方歷史文化、氣候、文學(xué)、宗教、歷史地圖、歷史照片、城市形態(tài)、水資源管理、城市景觀等。

在本次海絲之路文化和旅游博覽會(huì)上，組員們攜相關(guān)項(xiàng)目成果，通過地理信息平臺(tái)（GIS），將文字、圖片、視頻、動(dòng)畫、三維模型與歷史地理信息一一對(duì)應(yīng)，并將數(shù)據(jù)以四維電子地圖的方式呈現(xiàn)，讓觀眾從多個(gè)角度進(jìn)一步了解寧波的歷史文化。此外，項(xiàng)目組成員還通過攝影測(cè)量建模和激光掃描建模的方式將文物進(jìn)行數(shù)字化復(fù)制，通過3D框架搭建數(shù)字博物館平臺(tái)。本次展覽中，作為一級(jí)珍貴文物的春秋戰(zhàn)國(guó)羽人劃船紋銅鉞便是通過該技術(shù)首次以數(shù)字形式呈現(xiàn)在大眾面前。

春秋戰(zhàn)國(guó)羽人劃船紋銅鉞（一級(jí)珍貴文物）數(shù)字形式

“寧波歷史數(shù)字人文項(xiàng)目的初衷是通過建立一個(gè)豐富可靠、權(quán)威專業(yè)的數(shù)據(jù)庫(kù)平臺(tái)，以數(shù)字化的方式重現(xiàn)寧波城市發(fā)展脈絡(luò)，把中英雙語研究資料開放給全球的學(xué)者和科研人員，用以研究寧波的發(fā)展。” 寧波諾丁漢大學(xué)圖書館館長(zhǎng)閆春梅是該項(xiàng)目的發(fā)起人，據(jù)她介紹，一些具有文化意義的人文歷史景觀由于沒有得到妥當(dāng)?shù)谋Ｗo(hù)和處置，很容易消失在城市化建設(shè)的進(jìn)程中，從而被時(shí)間的長(zhǎng)河抹去。通過數(shù)字技術(shù)保存古時(shí)寧波各類地點(diǎn)的位置、老照片、文獻(xiàn)日志等信息，最終便能形成一份寧波古代版的“高德地圖”，為后人呈現(xiàn)出歷史歲月中寧波老城的模樣。

今年年初，在中國(guó)人民大學(xué)信息資源管理學(xué)院、中國(guó)人民大學(xué)數(shù)字人文研究中心與中國(guó)索引學(xué)會(huì)數(shù)字人文專業(yè)委員會(huì)主辦的2022中國(guó)數(shù)字人文年會(huì)上，由謝景、龍騰文和唐郁婷三位寧波諾丁漢大學(xué)學(xué)者共同指導(dǎo)、寧波諾丁漢大學(xué)圖書館全力打造的寧波歷史數(shù)字人文項(xiàng)目獲優(yōu)秀設(shè)計(jì)獎(jiǎng)，項(xiàng)目組學(xué)生成員王超駒領(lǐng)銜的“魂瓶”數(shù)字化項(xiàng)目斬獲最佳青苗獎(jiǎng)。

據(jù)寧波諾丁漢大學(xué)建筑與城市設(shè)計(jì)副教授謝景博士介紹，自2019年寧波歷史數(shù)字人文項(xiàng)目成立以來，已有來自國(guó)際事務(wù)與國(guó)際關(guān)系、國(guó)際傳播學(xué)、建筑學(xué)等多個(gè)專業(yè)的200余名學(xué)生參與到項(xiàng)目工作中。其中，有不少同學(xué)受益匪淺，最終成功跨進(jìn)了牛津大學(xué)、劍橋大學(xué)等世界頂級(jí)學(xué)府的大門。

目前，以吳文博、賀鈺婷、王雅卓、李昕茗為代表的初代項(xiàng)目實(shí)習(xí)生已相繼畢業(yè)。下一期，我們將通過他（她）們的視角走進(jìn)寧波歷史數(shù)字人文項(xiàng)目，去感受項(xiàng)目帶給他（她）們的成長(zhǎng)，去體會(huì)寧波老城的魅力。

Ningbo History Digital Humanities project | unearthing valuable treasures buried in the history

Committed to preserving and perpetuating Ningbo's history and culture, the members of the Ningbo History Digital Humanities project are having a busy yet rewarding summer. Last month, the project team participated in the 2023 Maritime Silk Road Culture and Tourism Expo and publicised their latest research findings.

The Ningbo History Digital Humanities project is a large-scale interdisciplinary project that conducts themed research around Ningbo history. The research topics cover local history and culture, climate, literature, religion, historical maps, historical photos, city morphology, water management, urban landscape, and may be further expanded.

At the Maritime Silk Road Culture and Tourism Expo, the team members showcased their project outcomes using a Geographic Information System (GIS), aligning texts, images, videos, animations, and 3D models with historical and geographical data. The data were displayed in a four-dimensional electronic map format, enabling the audience to explore Ningbo's history and culture from various perspectives. Additionally, they digitised cultural artefacts using photogrammetric modelling and laser scanning and built a digital museum platform on a 3D framework. In this exhibition, the bronze axe with a rowing pattern, a first-class precious cultural relic from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, was digitally showcased for the first time through this technology.

"The goal of this project is to digitally recreate the progression of Ningbo by establishing a comprehensive, reliable, authoritative, and professional database platform. This platform offers bilingual research materials in Chinese and English for scholars and researchers worldwide to study Ningbo's development," said May Yan, Director of the Library of the University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC), who initiated the project. As she explained, some culturally significant historical landscapes can quickly vanish in urbanisation without proper preservation and handling. By employing digital technology to safeguard information like the positions of diverse ancient Ningbo locales, old photographs, and documents, a contemporary version of the "Amap" of ancient Ningbo can be formulated, presenting the visage of the old city to future generations.

At the 2022 China Digital Humanities Conference, the Ningbo History Digital Humanities project, co-directed by three scholars from UNNC – Dr Jing Xie, Dr Tengwen Long and Dr Yuting Tang - and developed by the UNNC Library, won the Excellent Design Award; the "Soul Jar" digital project, led by the project team’s student member Chaoju Wang (under the guidance of Dr Xie), was awarded the Best Qingmiao Award.

According to Dr Xie, Associate Professor in Architecture and Built Environment at UNNC, since the inception of the Ningbo History Digital Humanities project in 2019, over 200 students from diverse programmes, including International Studies, International Communications, and Architecture, have participated in the project. Many of these students have derived immense benefits from the project, earning themselves places in prestigious universities such as Oxford and Cambridge.

Currently, the first batch of project participants, represented by Wenbo Wu, Yuting He, Yazhuo Wang, and Xinming Li, have graduated. In the next issue, we will delve into the Ningbo History Digital Humanities project from their perspectives, sharing the personal growth they have achieved through the project and revealing the allure of historic Ningbo.
