Abstract


The aim of this study is to visually illustrate the current state of research on reconstructing belief space in Confucian Gardens and
analyze the key areas for future investigation. The knowledge graph, which consists of 591 academic papers on the belief space of Confucian
Gardens published on Web of Science from database inception until August 2023, has been analyzed using Cite-Space software. After conducting a thorough analysis of co-citation, co-occurrence, clustering, timeline, and burst maps, the identification of three promising avenues
for future research has been achieved successfully. We anticipate that advanced research in the coming years will concentrate on three areas:
“reconstructing urban belief space, enhancing spatial experiences, and exploring embodied cognition”.
