Abstract: Ecological wisdom is the wisdom of human beings, and its core is that human beings use relevant technologies to treat human beings and nature in an equal and balanced relationship. In this paper, CiteSpace software was used to compare and analyze the research hotspots, research contents and research trends in Chinese and English literature related to ecological wisdom from 2012 to 2021. The study result showed that: ① Compared with English literature, the research perspective of Chinese literature is more concentrated, and the related research on climate change and biodiversity needs to be further deepened. ② In terms of research content, Chinese literature includes ecological practices under the concept of sponge city, traditional humanistic ecological wisdom, and exploration of ecological wisdom in landscape gardening urban and rural areas. English literature mainly includes biodiversity, traditional ecological knowledge, and resistance to climate change and its impact in coastal areas of China. ③ The related research at home and abroad was still in the development stage, with domestic research hotspots concentrated before 2016 and foreign related research development until now being more balanced. The differences between Chinese and English literature studies in terms of research contents and methods were compared, and finally the future development potential of ecological wisdom-related research was summarized.
