Abstract
This case study is a collection of poems that reflect the geographical distribution of Chinese poets in the Ming dynasty. This collection is titled Ming Shizong 明詩綜, written by Zhu Yizun 朱彝尊 of the Qing dynasty (1636–1911). Quantitative analysis and geographical visualization of digital humanities are applied in this study. The distribution of poets in the Ming dynasty is characterized by the southernization and localization of maps of provinces and cities (or counties). These phenomena have specific reasons that involve politics, economy, education, culture, and elite families.
