With the rapid development of electronic commerce in recent years, consumers become more and more like to use the Internet for obtaining information about the goods, this phenomenon is especially significant in experience commodity purchase. For experience commodity, consumers are difficult to accurately evaluate the content and quality before buying, so they will browse and find a lot of goods attribute description and review information to enrich their decision-making basis, in order to reduce the perceived risk.
