The CiteSpace,VOSviewer,and other software were used to reveal the commonalities and differ-ences between cultural ecosystem services(CES)in China and abroad.The results show that domestic and interna-tional CES research is consistent in the central hot regions,such as value assessment,urban green space,supply and demand balance,and social media.However,the stage progress and overall characteristics of CES research in China and abroad are different.Regarding research time,foreign studies started early and had rich research fron-tiers,while domestic studies began later.In terms of research content,foreign research on multi-perspective,multi-level,multi-region is more prosperous,and the research content is more comprehensive and specific,while there are still many CES categories,methods,scales,drivers,etc.that have not been studied in China.In terms of re-search theory and application,foreign theoretical explorations and applied research are emphasized,while domestic empirical and applied research is still dominated by the lack of exploration of theoretical mechanisms and conceptual frameworks.It is proposed that domestic research should focus more on strengthening theoretical knowl-edge base research,expanding trade-off and synergistic relationship research,and strengthening group perceived preference research in the future.
