The paper analyzes the process of the simple-to-complex evolution of logistics distribution networks.Using a typical logistics distribution network operated by a third-party logistics company as the foundation of the study and its logistics distribution network practical operation as the study object,the paper records the node relationship through a large number of site surveys,and calculates the node degree distribution of the logistics distribution network using MATLAB Program.The result of the calculation proves that power law index of the node degree distribution is in compliance with the characteristics of the scale-free network,which provides the theoretical basis for establishing a generative model of the distribution nodes and client nodes in the network.
