Ⅱ. Title Note: Author's name, detailed affiliation (including department), and title. Fund projects, acknowledgments, etc., should be placed after the author's bio.

Ⅲ. Numbering for chapters or content levels should generally follow the sequence: One, (One), 1, (1)...

Ⅳ. Use modern punctuation marks uniformly.

Em dashes and ellipses occupy two spaces, while other punctuation marks occupy one space. Punctuation in Western literature takes up half a space. For sentences mixing Chinese and Western languages, use a Chinese-style period at the end.

Book titles, documents, periodicals, articles, etc., should be enclosed in double angle brackets《》.

When combining book titles and article titles, use an interspace symbol, for example: "Records of the Grand Historian · House of Zhao."

For citations in independent paragraphs within the text, the first line should be indented by four spaces, and subsequent lines should be indented by two spaces and aligned. Citations in independent paragraphs do not require quotation marks and should be in imitation of Song typeface.

Ⅷ. Footnotes should be placed at the bottom of the page, with footnote numbers represented by Arabic numerals, such as: ①, ②...
