To conduct a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the linguistic characteristics and cross-cultural logic of the Xi'an Silk Road, this study employs the web-based reading and analysis environment (Voyant Tools), and takes the Global Edition of China Daily as its primary case study, systematically analyzing and visually presenting the data from macro to micro, and static to dynamic perspectives. Through tracing the relevant news reports from May 26, 2001 to December 31, 2025, the findings of this study reveal that the linguistic characteristics of the Xi'an Silk Road mainly embody stage differences, content diversity, correlative significance, and trend consistency. However, the typical deficiencies are identified, including superficial content, narrative localization, dispersed channels, and one-sided evaluation. The study proposes strategies to deepen the linguistic connotation and innovative expression, transform the narrative paradigms and audience orientation, integrate the diverse channels with intelligent technology, and construct a multidimensional evaluation and feedback mechanism.References
