Tai Chi, Evolution and Trends, Bibliometric Analysis, Visualization StudyAbstract
This study systematically analyzes the literature in the field of Tai Chi research using bibliometric methods, aiming to identify research hotspots, development trends, and application scenarios. Through citation analysis, keyword co-occurrence analysis, and temporal analysis, the study explores the disciplinary layout, key themes, and emerging frontiers of Tai Chi research. The findings indicate that Tai Chi research primarily focuses on health interventions, psychological regulation, and cultural dissemination, with significant value in enhancing balance, managing chronic diseases, and facilitating cross-cultural communication. This study provides theoretical support for understanding the developmental trajectory of Tai Chi research and proposes new directions for its application in health sciences and cultural dissemination.
