Analysis of the Research Progress, Hotspots and Trends of Rural Cultural Inheritance Based on Bibliometrics

Abstract

This paper uses the CiteSpace literature visualization analysis software to analyze 2,398 literatures in the field of rural cultural inheritance included in the CNKI database from 2006 to 2025. It is found that the number of published papers in this field shows two development stages. Before 2018, it showed a slow increase trend. In 2018, with the official proposal of the rural revitalization strategy, This will bring a new starting point for the development of this field. By 2025, this field will enter a fast lane of rapid development. The key words such as "rural revitalization", "cultural inheritance" and "beautiful countryside" are taken as the research focuses. Among them, the research subjects are colleges and universities, but there is less cooperation with other disciplines (the densities of the author network and the institution network are only 0.0012 and 0.006 respectively). In the research process, the application of theoretical and empirical methods is not in-depth enough. It is hoped that on the basis of constructing the theoretical knowledge about the revitalization of rural culture in China, the development of rural culture can be promoted and its due guiding role can be exerted. In the process of exploring the action methods and reform contents of rural cultural revitalization, the theoretical methods with innovative significance can be deepened and the research depth and practical value can be enhanced. This research provides certain data basis and support directions for the development of rural cultural inheritance research.
