Abstract: The research on cultural confidence has drawn much attention from academia with abundant research achievements, but it lacks the assistance of quantitative research methods. Therefore, using CiteSpace visualization software to sort out the current status,research hotspots,evolutionary paths and research frontiers of cultural confidence research is helpful to promote the scientific development of related research. The visualization map analysis reveals that there is a lack of interdisciplinary cooperative research among researchers and research institutions in the field of cultural confidence; researches mainly focus on the realistic justifications, theoretical origins, logical relationships, theoretical development, and enhancement paths of cultural confidence; research frontiers and research trends keep pace with the times and gradually focus on further exploration of cultural confidence in the new era. Future researches should strengthen the quantitative analysis of literature data to provide data support for the study, broaden the research perspective and promote the integration of interdisciplinary and multi-hotspot research, expand the research field and build an overall vision of the study.

Key words: cultural confidence, hot topic, evolution path, research on cultural confidence, visualization analysis
