First, the development of book titles.

At the beginning of the founding of New China, the title "Usage of Punctuation" promulgated by the state had no symbols. The original title is to draw wavy lines below (horizontally) or to the left (directly) of the text.

However, this punctuation is rarely used because it is more troublesome to print. Later, in order to facilitate printing and save manpower and material resources, the titles of books and newspapers are often replaced by quotation marks.

The number ""was originally a symbol in Russian, which is roughly equivalent to quotation marks in modern Chinese. In 1950s, in the upsurge of learning Russian, many people borrowed it and used it as quotation marks. Over time, it was accepted by people. At first, people called it "angle brackets", and later it was renamed as the title of the book.

The wavy line is only used for proper titles in Chinese mainland's ancient books, but it is still frequently used in Hong Kong and Taiwan. However, most students in Hong Kong will not use the title with horizontal lines because of trouble, but use the standardized ""in Chinese mainland instead.

Due to the popularity of computer and network applications, and the inconvenience of traditional book titles in computer input and typesetting, Taiwan Province Province has gradually accepted the use of ""and ""as book titles.

Different from GB/T 15834- 1955, Taiwan Province Province can sometimes directly use a single title in a chapter without nesting, which is called "chapter name".
