Abstract: As human society enters the 21th century, interdisciplinary disciplines have emerged continuously and play an important role in understanding and transforming the world. From the perspective of discipline construction and scientific research, the intersection of disciplines can be divided into four categories, namely, the intersection within disciplines, the intersection between disciplines, the intersection between disciplines and science and technology, and the intersection between natural disciplines and social disciplines. In the setting of cross-disciplines, as of June 2021, 185 universities in China have filed 616 cross-disciplines, among which the proportion of Applied Economics (Economic Statistics) and Statistics involved in cross-disciplines is 13% and 3.4% respectively, and the development of statistics discipline in cross-disciplines is getting wider and wider in scope. On this basis, this paper explores the intrinsic motives and external requirements of intersection between statistics and other disciplines, and takes the papers published in statistical journals involved in Chinese Social Science Citation Index and Chinese Science Citation Database from 2014 to 2021 as research objects to examine the influence of papers with different degrees of intersection of disciplines on the development of statistics. Finally, based on the possible future research and application trends of statistics, this paper shows ten important directions of statistical research. With the promotion of interdisciplinary disciplines, various disciplines are constantly infiltrating and merging to form a multi-level complex network. The study of statistics from a cross-disciplinary perspective is undoubtedly of great significance to the development of the world economy and social progress, and especially to the promotion of the rapid development of intelligent science and technology.
