[AI Summary]: This research employs on-site investigation methods and digital humanities approaches to reconstruct Su Shi’s southern migration route in 1094 CE from Ganxian to Huizhou. The study traces a 1,905-li journey (approximately 950 km) that took 47 days, passing through Ganxian, Nankang, Dayu, Baochang, Shixing, Qujiang, Zhenyang, Qingyuan, Panyu, and Boluo. By combining historical geographical documents, local gazetteers, and modern satellite mapping, the research precisely locates literary creation sites and corrects historical dating discrepancies. The study demonstrates how digital humanities methods can solve traditional philological problems, such as determining Su Shi’s exact arrival date in Panyu (September 25th, not 26th or 27th as previously recorded) and locating the “Virtuous Woman’s Inn” mentioned in his works using GIS technology.
