Abstract
In the realm of digital humanities, the application of visualization tools is becoming increasingly prevalent, offering new perspectives and methodologies for humanities research. Taking the study of commentary on "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio" as an example, VOSviewer and CiteSpace, two visualization tools, are employed to filter the literature on the commentary research of "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio" over the past forty years. By clustering keywords, the research topics in this field are identified. The temporal evolution of "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio" commentary research is analyzed using the timeline feature, with the temporal development serving as the axis. After a detailed comparison with the actual situation of the commentary research on "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio," it is found that visualization tools like VOSviewer demonstrate a high degree of credibility in cluster analysis. However, their drawbacks are also quite apparent, such as the inability to analyze the generated charts. Building on this foundation, the advantages of digital intelligence technology in the humanities and the challenges it faces are explored.
