目的 中医学的隐喻认知研究方兴未艾。运用CiteSpace软件对中医学隐喻认知相关文献进行可视化分析，探索现状和热点，为总结已有成果和深入研究提供基础。方法 检索中国知网（CNKI）1990-2021年相关文献，通过CiteSpace5.6.R5进行作者和机构合作网络以及关键词共现、聚类和突现词的分析。结果 共纳入文献328篇，总体来看，以贾春华等为代表的作者合作网络规模较大，研究机构集中在北京中医药大学。研究者和研究机构之间相对独立，其分布松散，合作较少。1990-2006年为中医学隐喻认知萌芽期，2007-2014年为快速增长期。2014年之后，进入平稳发展期。研究热点多集中在概念隐喻、认知科学、取象比类等方面。象思维、中医语言等是近年来的前沿领域。结论 隐喻认知为中医学理论解构提供了新的范式。基于多学科研究的中医隐喻认知学有望形成。中医语言实证研究有利于揭示中医学思维及逻辑特点，是未来研究的可行之路。

Objective The study of metaphor cognition in Traditional Chinese Medicine is in the ascendant. To use CiteSpace to visually analyze the related literature of TCM metaphor cognition research, explore the current research status and hot spots in this field, and provide a basis for summarizing existing results and in-depth research.Methods Retrieved CNKI from 1990 to 2021, and analyzed the co-occurrence, clustering and emergent words of the co-occurrence, clustering and emergent words of the author and institution cooperation network through CiteSpace5.6.R5.Results A total of 328 articles were included. In general, the collaborative network of authors represented by scholars such as Jia Chunhua is relatively large, and the main research institutions are concentrated in Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. Researchers and research institutions are relatively independent, their distribution is looser, and cooperation is less. 1990-2006 was the embryonic period, and the period from 2007 to 2014 was the period of rapid growth. After 2014, the overall research has entered a period of steady development. The research focuses on conceptual metaphor, cognitive science, analogy and so on. In recent years, such as Xiang-thinking, TCM language are the frontier.Conclusion Metaphorical cognition provides a new paradigm for theoretical research in TCM. The metaphorical cognition of TCM based on multidisciplinary research is expected to take shape. In addition, empirical research based on TCM language is more conducive to revealing the characteristics of TCM thinking and TCM logic, and is a possible way for future TCM metaphor cognitive research.
