It's a really weird problem. When I'm trying to launch my launch file using the terminal embedded in VIsual Studio Code, I got an error called "qt.qpa.screen: QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display Could not connect to any X display." But rviz seems totally OK while using the vanilla terminal.

Part of my launch file is shown below:

<launch>
    <node type="rviz" name="rviz" pkg="rviz" args=" $(find detect_core)/rviz/config.rviz" />
    <node pkg="detect_core" type="detect_core_node" name="detect_core_node" output="screen"/>
</launch>

When I launch this file in VSCode, it shows the following message while all the other processes works normally:

qt.qpa.screen: QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display  Could not connect to any X display.
[rviz-4] process has died [pid 2702, exit code 1, cmd /opt/ros/melodic/lib/rviz/rviz
/home/hcd/ROS_LiDAR/src/LiDAR/detect_core/rviz/config.rviz
__name:=rviz __log:=/home/hcd/.ros/log/053e51c0-f088-11e9-91c8-d0abd582c8c3/rviz-4.log].
log file:
/home/hcd/.ros/log/053e51c0-f088-11e9-91c8-d0abd582c8c3/rviz-4*.log

But when I launch rviz directly from terminal, it works perfectly fine.

Thank you for your help~~

Seems like it that for some reason rviz cannot contact the X server from "within" your VSCode terminal.

Could be that the DISPLAY environment variable isn't set, or some other bit of configuration is missing.

Yes, I've just solved this problem simply by setting the correct DISPLAY environment variable. Many thanks for your comment~~
