[Purpose/Significance] Digital humanities research is a prominent research hotspot in the current academic circle. This study systematically reviewed the frontier research on oracle bone inscription recognition from the perspective of digital humanities, which provided reference for follow-up research, promoting the effective development of digital humanities research and the recognition and utilization of characters in ancient books. [Method/Process] The literature was retrieved from multiple academic platforms such as WOS and CNKI using the method of bibliometric analysis, and a total of 103 English literature and 52 Chinese literature were screened for review. [Result/Conclusion] Interpreting the research status of oracle bone inscription recognition from three levels: traditional recognition technology, machine learning and deep learning, which analyzed the research development process, and discussed the future development trend. This paper mainly conducted a systematic review of oracle bone inscription recognition research from the perspective of digital humanities, which analyzed existing research technologies and research directions, but did not elaborate on the recognition algorithm mechanism in depth. Oracle recognition technology has gradually changed from traditional feature extraction to deep learning-based recognition technology. Although the recognition accuracy has been improved, there are still shortcomings such as serious overfitting and low recognition efficiency. Meanwhile, the construction of oracle knowledge base and knowledge graph, and the establishment of domain knowledge have good development potential in this field.
