Abstract:
Digital humanities digitizes elements of the humanities, constructs knowledge models, explores semantic associations and creates digital narrative spaces. There is an intrinsic relationship between the research model of digital humanities and the development of traditional Chinese medicine cultural resources. Taking the museum of traditional Chinese medicine in Jiangsu Province as an example, this paper breaks down three elements: the museum, the digital humanities research team and the public, and explains the relationship among them. With the goal of dividing resources, exhibits and ideas into levels, museums in the development and utilisation of Chinese medicine cultural resources should be committed to clearly specifying the information of material collections, presenting the contents of exhibits in multi-dimensions, and influencing the public with the ideas of Chinese medicine. In view of this, museums should first form alliances, unify norms, and map out their homes in order to integrate existing collection resources. And the digital humanities research team should serve the museum and the public, work together and build a digital platform. Eventually, the digital narrative space of traditional Chinese medicine will be constructed by combining the real and the virtual in the exhibition, and the digital narrative space of traditional Chinese medicine will be constructed in a multi-dimensional way.
