Abstract

This study employs the CiteSpace visualization analysis tool to systematically review the literature on the involvement of art in rural development from 2004 to 2024. It reveals the research trends, knowledge structure, and evolutionary pathways in this field. The research selects the core collections from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Web of Science (WOS) as data sources, collecting a total of 591 valid documents for a multidimensional analysis, including literature characteristics, author collaboration, institutional distribution, and keyword co-occurrence. The visual analysis uncovers the research context and trends regarding art's involvement in rural development, offering significant insights for understanding the evolutionary processes and future directions of art-based rural construction practices. With the deepening of the rural revitalization strategy, research on the involvement of art in rural development will increasingly emphasize innovative practical pathways, collaboration among diverse stakeholders, and the integration of local cultural heritage with innovation.
