Abstract ｜
Application of digital methods on art and humanity studies had become crucial research in recent years. Digital methods can help to improve the efficiency of studying, and also to have another point of view to rethink the materials. However, We have a lot of issues that need to be studied in details. Our aim is to propose a residuals calculation based on Zipf’s law, in order to find out the key-words of the materials with using Xin Qing Nian as an experiment example. We redefine the concept of keywords in a quantitative way, and establishing anless-subjectivecriterion from statistical theory. The experiment had found out that, as using statistic and digital method, we have three breakthroughs others from diminishing the criticality controversy by subjective judgments and the burdens of manual Selection. First, as the reason of be able to assure more accurately of the key-words, we can have more precise observation to thoughts changing and the language phenomena. Second, giving an evidence of how the importance of the key-words can be demonstrated by residual quantities. Third, giving an evidence of how the quantity of keywords can more or less demonstrate the emerging of obvious ideas.
