[Introduction] China’s 15th Five-Year Plan places strong emphasis on cultural development, explicitly calling for efforts to “root ourselves in the profound heritage of Chinese civilization while adapting to the trends of information technology development.” As a cutting-edge field that deeply integrates the humanities and sciences, digital humanities has become an important vehicle for revitalizing cultural heritage, preserving urban memory, and innovating cultural expression.

As one of China’s leading scholars in digital humanities, Professor Feng will join the Mingde Forum to deliver a lecture titled “Digital Humanities Beyond Boundaries”. Drawing on landmark projects she has led including "Beijing Memory" and "Four-Dimensional Beijing". She will guide students toward the frontiers of digital humanities research and explore new pathways for the creative transformation and innovative development of China’s outstanding traditional culture.
