This passage discusses the challenges and opportunities faced by literary studies in the era of digital intelligence, emphasizing the balance between upholding tradition and embracing innovation. Professor Liu Yongqiang suggests that literary studies should maintain the tradition of close reading while actively adopting new technologies such as artificial intelligence to explore new research pathways. He emphasizes that theory is not merely a tool but a partner in dialogue with texts, and the choice of theory is influenced by the researcher's background and the intellectual trends of the time. Professor Liu also distinguishes between textual analysis and textual interpretation, highlighting the importance of theoretical perspectives in the latter. Through the collaborative essay collection *Text Meets Theory* with German scholars, he demonstrates the practical application of literary research methods and explores the differences between inter-art poetics and intermedial studies, noting that inter-art research focuses on the borrowing of creative rules and aesthetic systems across art forms, while intermedial studies emphasize the transformation between sign systems. Additionally, Professor Liu examines cultural techniques in German media studies, underscoring the shift from static ontology to dynamic process research. He argues that cultural techniques can offer new perspectives for literary studies, such as media archaeology and intermediality studies. He points out that the rise of digital humanities has revitalized humanities research but also challenges traditional paradigms, urging humanities scholars to acquire programming skills for digital literacy. Finally, Professor Liu proposes the concept of building a future-oriented philology to address the profound transformations in literary studies amid the digital and intelligent transition.
