Given the unique historical and cultural significance of Goguryeo, its research has been developing and accumulating over an extended period in Chinese academia. This study employs bibliometric methods, using the CNKI database as a sample, to systematically review and analyze Chinese academic works on Goguryeo since 1952. By statistically examining data on publication volume, publication years, thematic distribution, research institutions, and scholars, this paper identifies the main research areas, academic hotspots, and emerging trends in Goguryeo studies. The findings show that research on Goguryeo in China primarily focuses on four key areas: Goguryeo sites and cultural heritage, regional exchanges and historical-cultural connections, social evolution and political construction, and mythology, religion, and art. However, several limitations persist, including a lack of substantial innovation, an aging scholar demographic, and the negative impact of cross-national disputes and political factors on the research. Based on the current state of research and data trends, it can be projected that future studies on Goguryeo in China will increasingly integrate multidisciplinary perspectives, leverage technological advancements, be guided by policy and cultural strategies, and foster the convergence of regional history with global historical frameworks.
