The Confucian thought of “benevolence” is a core category of Chinese civilization, and its international dissemination is of great significance for deepening mutual learning among civilizations. At present, its communication is facing three major problems: fragmented translation resources, monotonous analytical methods, and traditional communication paths. Based on the bilingual parallel corpus of the Thirteen Confucian Classics, this study constructs a secondary corpus on the topic of “benevolence”. Through quantitative and qualitative analysis, it reveals the translation diversity of “benevolence” in international communication and the differences in its interpretation. On this basis, by integrating digital humanities technology, an innovative communication path of constructing a multimodal digital resource library and developing large language model agents is proposed, providing new ideas for the contemporary international dissemination of Confucianism.
