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 was to draw wavy lines below the text (horizontally) or on the left (directly).

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

This number was originally a symbol in Russian, which is roughly equivalent to quotation marks in modern Chinese. In 1950s, during 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 the title of the book.

In Chinese mainland's ancient books, wavy lines are only used for proper titles, but they are still frequently used in Hong Kong and Taiwan. However, most students in Hong Kong don't use the title with horizontal lines, but use the standardized ""in Chinese mainland.

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 "the title of a chapter".
