To sort out the development process of Chinese rock art research, the funded papers containing the “岩画 (Rock Art)” by title are collected and summarized in the CNKI’s “China Knowledge Resources Database” and the 4 core journals in the “China Academic Journals Online Publishing Database” (CAJD). As of September 2024, 413 funded papers of Chinese rock art research are selected that supported by 258 various fund projects, including 75 national projects.The first funded paper was published in 1990, later than the unfunded one in 1930 in China. The quantitative analysis results of funded papers show that Chinese rock art research can be roughly divided into the initial stage from 2001 to 2008, the development stage from 2009 to 2013, and the steady development stage from 2014 to the present. Mostly projects had 1 paper published, and the national and ministerial projects had increased number of papers in the four Chinese core databases.
