Visual Analysis Of The Research Trends Of Health Qigong In China Based On CiteSpace

Since the 21 st century,the development of health qigong has been paid more and more attention by the society and relevant state departments,and its related scientific research achievements have also advanced by leaps and bounds with the active exploration of experts and scholars.Faced with a huge and growing number of scientific research documents,the traditional information collection and processing methods are no longer applicable to the analysis of scientific research development of health qigong research.Therefore,In order to objectively and accurately grasp the overall development context and historical evolution law of health qigong research and scientifically predict the future development trend of health qigong research.Through the construction of knowledge map and chart,the combination of qualitative and quantitative,Objectively analyze the annual publication volume,periodical distribution,fund support,high-yield authors and cooperative relationship between authors,cooperative relationship between research institutions,research hotspots and changing trends of health qigong research in China in recent 30 years,Based on this,the problems and topics worth exploring in the research and development of health qigong are discussed in depth,and relevant suggestions are put forward to provide intuitive and comprehensive reference information for subsequent researchers.This paper adopts the research methods of literature,bibliometrics,mathematical analysis and comparative analysis,Through CiteSpace software,this paper makes a visual analysis of 413 core journal documents about health qigong research collected in the databases of China How Net,wanfang data and VIP from 1992 to 2022.After analysis,the following conclusions are drawn:From 1992 to 2022,the number of domestic scientific research documents on health qigong showed a fluctuating upward trend,from the early number of articles to dozens,with a maximum of 39 articles per year.During the three development stages from 2003 to 2008,from 2012 to 2013,and from 2015 to 2018,the number of health qigong documents published in China continued to increase;During the two development stages from 2013 to 2015 and from 2018 to 2022,the number of documents published on health qigong research in China has decreased,while the number of documents published in other periods is relatively stable.There are a wide range of periodicals in the research literature of health qigong in China,involving as many as 166 kinds of periodicals,which are mainly concentrated in medical periodicals,sports periodicals and sociological periodicals.Among them,China Journal of Gerontology,Journal of Beijing Sport University,Journal of Wuhan Sport University and so on are the high-output core journals that publish the research literature of health qigong in China.The most funded domestic fund projects are the scientific research projects of the Fitness Qigong Management Center of the State Sports General Administration,followed by the State Sports General Administration,the National Social Science Foundation,the National Natural Science Foundation,and the Shanghai Key Discipline Construction Project.Among them,among the top ten funded projects in the funded literature,seven funded projects are at the national level.It can be seen that at the national level,China attaches great importance to the scientific research and development of health qigong.The number of high-yield core authors in the core journals of health qigong in China is relatively small,and the number of articles published by the authors is relatively low.Only three authors have published more than 10 articles,namely Yu Dinghai,Si Hongyu and Gao Liang,and the rest have published less than 10 articles.The author’s network co-occurrence density is low,and there are few cooperative groups,only a few large cooperative groups are formed,while the rest of the authors are in a relatively independent state,lacking communication and cooperation.The research institutions of health qigong in China are mainly concentrated in colleges and universities,especially physical education colleges and medical colleges.Among the top ten research institutions,there are as many as eight institutions of higher learning,and the top four institutions are sports and hospital schools,while normal universities are somewhat backward.The degree of cooperation between institutions is low,and the communication is not close enough.Only a few research institutions have cooperative relations,which shows that most research institutions in the field of health qigong research in China are still mainly self-research,lacking communication and cooperation.The research on health qigong in China mainly focuses on health qigong techniques such as health qigong,Baduanjin,Wuqinxi and Yijinjing,as well as research hotspots such as mental health,middle-aged and elderly people,student groups,traditional Chinese medicine,health preservation and disease treatment.Based on this,12 popular research topics have been formed,including health qigong,Yijinjing,fitness,Baduanjin,Wuqinxi,current situation,immune function,health,value,personality cult,exercise therapy and stable period.According to the change and evolution of the research theme of health qigong and the development analysis of its frontier dynamics,It is inferred that the future research of health qigong in China is mainly focused on the role of health qigong in clinical application,the popularization and popularization of health qigong,and the improvement and creation of health qigong techniques.
