Abstract: With the help of the information visualization software CiteSpace V, 575 documents related to township government public services in China from 2002 to March 2022 in CNKI database were used for conducting co-existential analysis and cluster analysis. The results showed that the research on township government public services could be roughly divided into three stages, of which the volume of papers published from 2004 to 2010 surged. On the whole, the research on township government public services was consistent with the functional transformation and governance goals of the Chinese government. The author's cooperation was not intensive, and the core network had not yet been formed. The research hotspots mainly focused on key words such as government functions, urban-rural integration and collaborative governance, forming 11 cluster groups such as rural revitalization, equalization and supply mechanism. The node information of cluster groups was analyzed and integrated into three hot research themes, including problems in the supply of public services in township governments, construction paths and overall balance. The research frontier shows a trend from the basics of public services to the diversity of public services and then to the equality of public services, and the future research trend will focus more on grass-roots governance and the equalization of public service supply.

Key words: government functions, supply, rural revitalization, supply mechanism
