Trace of agricultural products is a hot topic in the study of intelligent agricultural development in China. Based on the Cite space which is a bibliometric tools，this article uses 303 valuable research references in the CNKI for nearly 10 years, analyzes the literature on Chinese agricultural products trace and draws the following conclusions:1.Prophase research focuses on technology development research and application;2. Prophase research disciplines focus on computer, animal and plant science, logistics and Internet of things management, economics;3. Prophase research perspective is mostly government, enterprise and consumer perspective. There is little literature from the perspective of farmers to explore the acceptance of agricultural products trace, which is a field worthy of further study. In addition, agricultural products trace is an information technology. Using TAM model and TPB model, there is little literature to analyze the influencing factors of farmers' acceptance of agricultural products trace, this is also worth studying and discussing in future. 1 INTRODUCTION General secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the China rural work conference that the source of food safety is to base the agricultural products on agriculture, and first, we should grasp the quality of agricultural products. Han Changfu, Minister of the Ministry of agriculture, proposed to establish a trace system, focus on pig and other "vegetable basket" to carry out the trace pilot, and strive to achieve the goal of trace for most cooperatives and leading enterprises within five years. (Fu Xiumei, Xue zhenkai et al. 2019) therefore, it is imperative to establish the quality and safety trace system of agricultural products. Most of agricultural products are food, and food occupies an important proportion in people's dietary structure. It is of great significance to establish and improve the trace system of agricultural products in China to improve the quality and safety level of agricultural products. (Cao Qingzhen, 2015) To establish a scientific trace system of agricultural product quality and safety, we must understand the basic situation of the research on the trace of agricultural products by Chinese scholars, such as: what is the current situation of the research on the trace of agricultural products in China? 19 TEM, 2021. Volume 2, Issue 1 http://paper.ieti.net/tem/index.html DOI: https://doi.org/10.6897/IETITEM.202103_2(1).0003 What are the research directions, hot spots and trends of the trace of agricultural products? In order to systematically summarize and analyze the research progress of agricultural product trace in China, this paper takes the journal panel data collected by CNKI as the research sample, and uses visualization software such as Cite Space to mine, sort out and draw the map of scientific knowledge, to reveal the dynamic law of agricultural product trace in China, to provide real and effective reference for the research and construction of agricultural product trace in China. 2 DATA SOURCES AND RESEARCH METHODS In order to comprehensively and accurately understand the research status and trend of "agricultural products trace" in China, this paper collects data from CNKI. Considering that "trace of agricultural products" includes the safety of agricultural products, enter the search criteria in the search box of CNKI: "key words =" trace of agricultural products ", and the search subject includes" trace of agricultural products "or safety of agricultural products. RefWorks format is used to export data information for the analysis and research of the paper. In the CNKI database "advanced search", 492 papers with the title of "trace of agricultural products" were retrieved, and the time node was set from 2010 to October 31, 2020. By deleting conference papers, dissertations and book reviews with little reference value, 303 papers are left. This paper will focus on the analysis of 303 papers. The software tool used in this study is Cite Space, a visualization software developed by Professor Chen Chaomei of Drexel University in the United States. The software can measure the collection of literature in specific fields to find out the key path and knowledge turning point of discipline evolution, and form the detection of discipline development frontier through a series of visual mapping. (Chen, Chen et al. 2015) this paper uses Cite Space to analyze keyword co-occurrence and time zone view, and draw a map of scientific knowledge. In order to meet the needs of research, this study also uses the bibliometric function of CNKI itself to obtain relevant pictures. At the same time, in order to understand the key hot words more intuitively and clearly, this paper also uses the software "micro word cloud" to make keyword word cloud. 2.2 Basic situation of agricultural products trace research 2.1.1. Annual distribution of literature The construction of agricultural products trace is a hot topic in the research of agricultural intelligent development in China, and it is also the focus of agricultural modernization. According to the annual amount of agricultural products trace research literature shown in Figure 1, the agricultural products trace research is divided into three stages: (1) 2010-2013. The number of papers published in this stage is less than 25 per year, which indicates that the research results of agricultural products trace in this period are less, and the attention of the theme is weak. Among them, the first paper with the theme of "Research on trace of agricultural products" is the article "trace system of quality and safety of agricultural products in the United States" published by Xing Wending in world agriculture in 2006. Then came Yang Xinting, Qian Jianping et al 2006), published a series of articles on the construction of agricultural products trace in China, but before 2010, China's Engel coefficient was still relatively 20 TEM, 2021.

In 2008, China had a famous "melamine" milk incident. Although a large number of experts and scholars called for the development of agricultural products trace, the research was successful On the other hand, at this stage, large enterprises attach great importance to the trace of agricultural products. However, large enterprises regard the trace of agricultural products as their technological advantage to compete with their competitors and build the core competitiveness of brands and high-end products, which makes it difficult for research results to enter the market. (2) 2014-2018. In this period, with the decline of China's Engel coefficient, the residents' attention to the quantity of agricultural products has turned to the quality of agricultural products, and the trace of agricultural products has become the focus of social attention, which requires the use of modern Internet technology, blockchain technology and visualization technology to deepen the trace of agricultural products, establish a unified standard for the trace of agricultural products, and improve the construction of the trace system of agricultural products. At this stage, more and more papers focus on the trace of agricultural products, and the research on the trace of agricultural products has become a continuous concern of scholars. （3） 2019—2020。 What is the direct reason for the surge of the number of papers In 2018, the state promulgated the opinions of the Ministry of agriculture and rural areas on the link between the quality and safety trace of agricultural products and the major establishment and identification of agricultural and rural areas, the selection of agricultural brands, the certification of agricultural products, agricultural exhibitions and other work. The opinions outline put forward technical standards and requirements in the trace of agricultural products, and made clear the time arrangement for the implementation of comprehensive trace of agricultural products in China, marking the beginning of the trace of agricultural products The source construction has entered the implementation stage. Therefore, at this stage, the research on trace of agricultural products is urgent, the number of papers is increasing rapidly, and the research content and perspective are more diverse, in-depth and complex. As can be seen from Figure 1, the number of papers published in the past two years has increased sharply. 2.1.2 Analysis of literature authors With the attention of scholars on the topic of agricultural products trace, the number of scholars engaged in this topic is gradually expanding. Among the 303 articles, 20 authors published 3 or more articles, and 64 articles were published, accounting for 21.1% of the total. The core author group of agricultural products trace research has basically formed. According to the statistics of the authors who published more than two papers in Figure 1, Zhao Yan, Liu Shihong,
