As a fusion of digital technology and humanities research, Digital humanities has become an important promoting force for breaking through the paradigm of modern values through innovative research and practical methods. From the perspective of influence mechanism, digital humanities can correct instrumental rationality, reconstruct knowledge forms, promote civilization competition, and reconstruct communication media, achieving the return of technology worship usurpation, the emergence of educational innovation forces, the popularization of a community with a shared future for mankind, and the restoration of international discourse power games, providing theoretical and logical support for the breakthrough of modern value paradigms. It should still be pointed out that the coexistence of algorithmic control over power, ethical alienation of subject consciousness, cultural invasion of data theft, and oppression of humanistic criticism has led to practical obstacles for digital humanities to help break through the value paradigm of modernity. In this regard, efforts should be made from multiple dimensions, including regulating the excessive expansion and abuse of algorithmic power, improving the ethical governance ecology throughout the entire cycle, exploring the establishment of cultural data protection mechanisms, and maintaining the critical nature of digital humanities operations. This will help to unleash the effectiveness of digital humanities and drive breakthroughs in modern value paradigms.
