Abstract
This paper collects research literature on tourism interpretation at home and abroad, uses Citespace software to analyze the co-linearity of keyword networks, studies the thematic collinear map, compares the content of collinear maps of the past years, and finds that the theoretical basis of domestic research is relatively simple, especially there is no complete and systematic research system on the interpretation of national parks. In addition, the sources of domestic research funds are mostly concentrated in the National Natural Science Foundation, which means that regional governments and local industry organizations pay insufficient attention to research in this field, and the research results have little guiding effect on practice. Studying the scientific explanation of tourism, excavating the natural and humanistic knowledge of tourist attractions, and presenting them in an effective and reasonable way can solve the problem of low quality of tourism supply and respond to the reform of the supply side of China's tourism economy. To this end, this study will lay the foundation for the improvement of the quality of domestic tourism service supply.

Summary
The study of tourism interpretation began when Tilden first gave a complete and scientific definition of interpretation in the creation of a national park. In the scholars’ definition of tourism interpretation, tourist’s intelligence, cognition, experience and emotion are emphasized and the process of interpretation requires knowledge transmission employing correct communication methods and tools to give visitors a meaningful experience-----an emotional association between a person and nature. The research of interpretation originates from national park explanation, having a very complete body of knowledge including the concept, process and purpose of interpretation, the way and method of explanation, the medium of explanation, the explanation plan and explanation system. It is expected to find gaps and deficiencies, guide and standardize the tourism explanations of Chinese domestic attractions, with a view to improving the quality of overall tourism supply services and helping the development of China's tourism market
