This paper aims to construct a scale for Jupsang leadership orientation (JSLO). We first provide a theoretical background for the concept of Jupsang, which originates from the ancient literature of Sun Tsu and Lao Tsu and the modern literature of Maoism and Deng Xiaoping in China. We used a grounded theory approach to obtain five dimensions of the Jupsang concept: agility orientation, innovation orientation, vigilant orientation, market awareness orientation, and visionary orientation. Items were generated through 12 in-depth interviews in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and mainland China and were included in a questionnaire, which we used to collect data from two large forums in Hong Kong, where 440 middle and senior executives from China attended. Using SPSS Version 25 and following the scale development procedures provided by Churchill and De Villis, we found the Jupsang scale reliable and valid. This paper contributes to providing a brand new scale for strategic leadership. Practically, it can enhance the relationship between a leader and his/her followers. Finally, we provided limitations and directions for future research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Based on the concepts of "ancient China studies" and "digital humanities" (DH) in the context of China, this paper first gives a brief review on the development and practice of DH cyberinfrastructure. Under a series of reflections and a brief investigation on ancient Chinese literatures and traditional humanistic activities, this paper puts forward a new DH cyberinfrastructure conceptual model for ancient China studies that can bring people, information, and computational tools together and allow humanistic scholars to perform in a new way and with higher efficiency. On the premise of actual practices to turn a conceptual model into reality, this paper discusses DH cyberinfrastructure and the future of academic libraries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
