Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of geographic information display, and more specifically to a human geographic information display system. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of human geography information display, especially in the area of ​​combining ancient poetry with geographical information, existing technologies have many shortcomings. These problems, to some extent, limit the effective dissemination of ancient poetry culture and the in-depth utilization of geographical information.

[0003] First, from the perspective of teaching methods for classical Chinese poetry, current approaches often appear rigid and lack aesthetic appeal. Traditional teaching methods typically focus on the direct interpretation of the text, neglecting the rich geographical information and temporal and spatial context contained within classical poems. This teaching model makes it difficult for learners to deeply understand the artistic conception and cultural connotations of the poems, making the study of classical Chinese poetry tedious and failing to stimulate learners' interest.

[0004] Secondly, existing methods for promoting classical Chinese poetry are limited and lack individuality. The dissemination of classical poetry often relies on traditional media such as books and classrooms, which have significant limitations in terms of interactivity and visualization. These methods fail to meet the needs of modern learners for diverse and personalized learning experiences, thus restricting the reach of classical poetry and making it difficult to reach a wider audience.

[0005] Furthermore, the study of classical Chinese poetry often lacks context. Learners struggle to connect the content of poems with actual geographical environments, resulting in a superficial understanding and an inability to deeply appreciate the geographical environment and cultural background depicted in the poems. This lack of contextualization negatively impacts learning outcomes and limits the inheritance and development of classical Chinese poetry culture.

[0006] In the application of geographic information technology, although the development of WebGIS technology has provided strong support for the visualization of geographic information, there are still shortcomings in its application combined with classical Chinese poetry. Existing technologies often focus on the display of geographic information while neglecting the cultural information and emotional expression contained in classical Chinese poetry. This makes it difficult for users to feel the cultural charm and humanistic sentiments conveyed by classical Chinese poetry when browsing geographic information, making the display of geographic information monotonous and dull.

[0007] Especially in the field of food culture dissemination, although modern information dissemination technology has continuously developed, resulting in various food-related programs and electronic food maps, these products often focus on introducing and recommending food items, neglecting the cultural stories and geographical background behind them. Users often only obtain superficial information when using these products, finding it difficult to deeply understand the connotations and historical origins of food culture. This superficial approach to dissemination fails to meet users' needs for a deeper understanding of food culture and also limits its inheritance and development.
