A large number of research literature have emerged with the gradual deepening of studies on the intangible cultural heritage. In order to veal the trend of research, this paper takes advantage of the Citespace software to map and analyze China’s intangible cultural heritage literature co-citation mapping, the journal co-citation mapping, author co-citation mapping and keywords & term co-occurrence knowledge mapping based on the database of CSSCI 2003-2013. The mappings show directly the current situation, main fields, important literature, important scholars and hotspots in the research of intangible cultural heritages. These studies have accumulated a lot of remarkable results, which can be used as a reference for the future researchers to better grasp the trends of research in the field of intangible cultural heritage.
