Constructed wetlands (CWs) have been introduced to and developed in China for environmental engineering over the most prosperous three decades (1990-2020). To study the origin, development process, and future trend of CWs, this review summarized a wide range of literatures between 1990 and 2020 by Chinese authors. Firstly, the publication number over years, research highlights, and the author contributions with the most published papers in this field were conducted through bibliometric analysis. Secondly, the most principal components of CWs, substrates and macrophytes were summarized and analyzed. Thirdly, the typical application cases from traditional CWs, pond systems to combined pond-wetland systems were presented. In China, CWs were predominately distributed in the east of the so-called 'Hu Huanyong Line'. Therefore CWs were limited by the socio-economic level and climatic conditions. It is unquestionable that the overall level of China's CWs has improved significantly, and one of the most prominent features has started towards the plural pattern development. There has been a trend of large-scale or low-cost CW application in the recent years. However, lifecycle research and management are required for better strategies in the future.
人工湿地（CWs）在过去三十年（1990-2020 年）中被引入并发展成为环境工程的一部分。为了研究 CWs 的起源、发展过程和未来趋势，本综述通过文献计量分析总结了 1990 年至 2020 年间中国作者发表的广泛文献。首先，对多年来的出版物数量、研究重点以及该领域发表论文最多的作者的贡献进行了分析。其次，对 CWs 的主要组成部分，即基质和水生植物进行了总结和分析。第三，展示了传统 CWs、池塘系统到组合池塘湿地系统的典型应用案例。在中国，CWs 主要分布在所谓的“胡焕庸线”以东。因此，CWs 受到社会经济水平和气候条件的限制。毫无疑问，中国的 CWs 整体水平有了显著提高，最显著的特点之一是开始朝着多元化发展。近年来，出现了大规模或低成本 CW 应用的趋势。然而，未来需要进行生命周期研究和管理，以制定更好的策略。
