Abstract: HAN Yu is a giant in the history of Chinese literature and culture. In the study of HAN Yu's works,successive scholars have made great endeavors,accumulating rich experience,which helps to summarize some universally significant laws and methods for the collation and study of ancient Chinese literary works. Let's take the study of HAN Yu's poetry as an example. In the thousands of years of Chinese academic history,the undercurrents of innovation of academic thoughts and methods constantly surging,some,like the boundary of allusion annotation,the extension of punctuation schemes,the strategy of “using Ben Shi to determine the age of creation” and so on,need to be fully demonstrated and systematically summarized. Based on this,we need constantly seek the dialogue opportunities between ancient literature research and digital humanities,avoid objectified research and one-way construction,and promote the interactive empowerment of “digital” and “humanities”,with the purpose of truly realizing the concept change and method innovation of humanistic research and promoting the creative transformation and innovative development of the academic heritage of ancient Chinese literature research.

Key words: use of allusions, punctuation, the age of creation, Ben Shi, HAN Yu, digital humanities
