This　paper　aims　to　clarify　the　current　status,　hotspots,　historical　evolution　and　development　trend　of　the　research　on　funding　and　management　of　basic　research　in　China.　Firstly,　736　relevant　papers　indexed　during　1992-2019　in　the　core　journal　database　of　China　National　Knowledge　Infrastructure　(CNKI)　were　analyzed　in　details.　Using　the　information　visualization　software　CiteSpaceV5.6.R3,　the　institutional　cooperation　co-occurrence　map,　author　cooperation　co-occurrence　map,　keyword　co-occurrence　map,　and　keyword　timeline　view　maps　were　plotted　through　content　mining.　The　results　show　that:　the　research　institutions　in　the　research　field　of　basic　research　funding　and　management　have　formed　three　core　cooperation　networks,　and　the　institutions　in　Beijing　attract　the　most　attention;　most　of　the　prolific　and　active　authors　choose　teamwork　over　independent　research;　the　research　topics　mainly　fall　into　four　aspects　of　basic　research:　input,　subjects,　results,　and　talents;　the　research　hotspots　are　in　line　with　policies　and　demands,　and　evolve　through　three　stages:　exploration　and　gradual　progress,　adjustment　and　development,　and　expansion　and　acceleration.　The　research　results　open　up　a　new　direction　for　relevant　studies,　and　provide　a　reference　for　innovative　parties　to　implement　basic　research.　©　2021.　All　Rights　Reserved.
