Additional Information

The problem seems to be caused by the magic comment in the first line. If you delete it, everything will be fine. However, I have to use xelatex to deal with languages except English. And that means I have to use this magic comment.

What's more, according to the running log, the problem seems to be caused by BibTeX. And I've tried to disable it by deleting BibTeX in the config "latex-workshop.latex.tools" and the recipe "name": "pdflatex -> bibtex -> pdflatex*2",. Sadly, all those don't work for me.

After I delete my magic comment and change my config like this:(delete the "-pdf" and add "-xelatex"), it finally works well for me.

    "latex-workshop.latex.tools": [
        {
            "name": "latexmk",
            "command": "latexmk",
            "args": [
                "-xelatex",
                "-synctex=1",
                "-interaction=nonstopmode",
                "-file-line-error",
                "%DOC%"
            ]
        },
