8. The information query method according to claim 1 , wherein the entity belongs to one of the following fields:

a field of people, a field of medicine, a field of book, a field of food, a food of plant, a field of real estate, a field of education, and a field of entertainment.

9. The information query method of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of edges represents an attribute or a relationship associated with two of the plurality of nodes.

10. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising program instructions stored therein, wherein the program instructions are configured to, when executed, cause a computer to:

obtain a query word input by a user through a terminal, identifying a target entity in the query word input, and determining a globally unique identifier (GUID) of the target entity for a knowledge map, wherein:

the knowledge map comprises a plurality of nodes and a plurality of edges connecting the plurality of nodes,

the plurality of nodes represent a plurality of entities, and

each of the plurality of entities is associated with a corresponding GUID and a corresponding entity type;

determine a plurality of target entity types corresponding to the target entity according to a corresponding relationship between an entity and an entity type, wherein each of the plurality of target entity types defines a plurality of target attributes and/or a plurality of target entity relationships to be queried of the target entity;

query an attribute value and/or a related entity corresponding to an identifier of a target attribute from the plurality of target attributes and/or an identifier of a target entity relationship in the knowledge map from a plurality of target relationships according to the GUID and the identifier of the target attribute and/or the identifier of the target entity relationship; and

return a search result to the terminal, so that the terminal displays the attribute value and/or the related entity corresponding to the target entity to the user in an entity detail card.

11. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 10 , wherein the program instructions are configured to, when executed, cause the computer to return the search result to the terminal according to a priority of display order corresponding to each entity type;

wherein the entity type is divided into a significant type and a non-significant type, wherein a display order of the significant type has a priority higher than a display order of the non-significant type, and

wherein, in a rendering of the entity detail card, a position of the display order of a first attribute value of a first attribute defined by the significant type precedes a position of the display order of a second attribute value of a second attribute defined by the non-significant type.

12. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein, in the rendering of the entity detail card, a position of the display order of a first related entity corresponding to a first entity relationship defined by the significant type precedes a position of the display order of a second related entity corresponding to a second entity relationship defined by the non-significant type.
