Study On Overseas Academic Knowledge Diffusion Trend Of Laozi's Thought Based On Citation Content Analysis

Laozi and his thinking is traditional culture of China,in the long history of constantly being spread to all over the world,different from Confucianism promoted by state power around the world,The spread of laozi's thoughts in the world is a completely spontaneous act,and laozi's thoughts is cultural base for the construction of a community of human destiny.The study on the foreign knowledge diffusion of laozi's thought is conducive to providing reference and reference for the future development of laozi's thought outside the region,spreading Chinese culture and integrating Chinese civilization system into the world civilization system.The diffusion of academic knowledge can be embodied by citation and being cited.Based on the citation content,this paper establishes the framework of knowledge diffusion research to study the knowledge diffusion trend of overseas laozi's thoughts in the academic filed,and effectively reveals the information spread by citation content.To obtain the core reference set,use the citation relation to obtain the citing reference set,and extract the corresponding citation content.The main research methods are citation content analysis and coword analysis.LDA topic model and weight ordering were used to extract topic keywords from research literature data and citation text content.In the research process,firstly,Firstly,the key word distribution and core key word evolution of each data set are studied to understand the core viewpoint and main evolution context of knowledge diffusion.Secondly,construct the keyword cooccurrence network of each dataset.In order to understand the main research direction of each dataset,On this basis,the undirected knowledge diffusion network is constructed based on the superposition of keyword co-occurrence network in each data set,and the graph node color is used to analyze the evolution of knowledge diffusion network at different stages.Finally,this paper transforms the citation relationship among the papers into the citation relationship among the subject words of the papers based on citation text,constructs a knowledge diffusion network based on the citation relationship between the literatures,and studies specifically which academic viewpoints of laotse's thought research flow and spread outside the region and its diffusion trend.The research results show that the academic research on laozi's thoughts is on the rise.The influence of Lao Tzu's thought in the process of academic knowledge diffusion is expanding in scope and depth,which not only shows the diversity of countries / regions,but also shows the trend of interdisciplinary research.In the whole process of knowledge diffusion,it not only affects the field of humanities and social sciences,but also affects the related research in the field of natural science.The trend of knowledge diffusion in the study of laozi thought is a shift from the study of theoretical interpretation of laozi thought to the study of practical application of laozi thought.In the formative stage,the study focuses more on the interpretation of the core thoughts of Laozi.In the process of dissemination,it focuses on the research on the application value of laozi's thought.With the combination or collision of Laozi thought and politics,economy,society,history and culture of different countries,the research content and theme of Laozi thought has been continuously expanded and deepened,and Laozi thought has been studied from multiple perspectives.As an important representative of Chinese philosophical civilization,laozi's thought contains the natural philosophical principles of the origin and operation of all things,and reveals the basic principles of being human,government management,learning and war.Laozi's thoughts have attracted extensive attention in foreign studies,and these views have also exerted important influence on many research fields,promoting the Chinese civilization to the world stage.
