Mosques, as iconic structures of Islam, were built in various regions along the Silk Road as Islam spread into China. This study selects mosques in the Chinese areas along the Silk Road to further clarify the influence of Islamic architectural styles on China by analyzing their architectural features. By employing the method of bibliometrics, this research highlights the current shortcomings in the study of the dissemination of Islamic architectural styles. It provides recommendations for future research on Islamic architecture along the Silk Road. Currently, the study of mosques mainly concentrates on the field of architecture, lacking a historical perspective to explore the impact of the Silk Road on Islamic architectural styles, which this study aims to supplement and innovate.
