[Purpose/significance] From the perspective of humanities scholars, this paper discussed how humanities scholars viewed Digital Humanities and how they were influenced by the wave of Digital Humanities. Through the investigation of humanities scholars’ digital scholarship cognition and digital scholarship needs, it laid the foundation for digital humanistic service and system design. [Method/process] Using qualitative research method, this paper made a comparative research in four fields of literature, history, philosophy and art, and conducted saturation test with interview materials to construct the qualitative main line of "cognition-prediction-anxiety-demand and response". [Result/conclusion] It’s found that humanists scholars in different fields do not have the same cognition of digital scholarship, but their prediction of its influence also has something in common. They generally agree that digitalization has some influence on the research materials, research methods, knowledge dissemination and research problems of humanities. In the face of the digital wave, the concerns of humanities scholars mainly include the depth of digital scholarship research, the subject status of humanities and academic ethics in the technological environment. Finally, there are many needs for humanities scholars in terms of capacity improvement, data, technology, and research evaluation system, among which the most urgent needs are "infrastructure" and "digital project".
