“…This study relied on Baidu Index to obtain data, which may still have limitations in fully revealing the extent of public attention to the national language and script law. Additionally, while Baidu Index can present the spatial and temporal distribution and characteristics of public search behavior (Tan et al, 2022), it cannot reveal the underlying psychological patterns and other complex factors influencing this behavior. However, considering that Baidu users have a relatively high proportion among Chinese Internet users, Baidu Index can largely reflect the general opinions and thoughts of the majority of Chinese netizens.…”

Regarding Baidu Index which is a popular tool to understand online interests (Long et al, 2022), the previous studies have been applied to multiple fields, including but not limited to inclusive education, knowledge management, mental health, disease prevention and control (Long et al, 2022;Tan et al, 2022a;Wang et al, 2020;He et al, 2022;Tan et al, 2022b).
