Examples of punctuation when quoting famous quotes: For example, if you quote someone else’s words directly, use quotation marks; if you quote someone else’s words indirectly, do not use quotation marks. When quotation marks are required within quotation marks, use double quotation marks for the outer layer and single quotation marks for the inner layer. When quoting several paragraphs in succession, use front quotation marks at the beginning of each paragraph and use back quotation marks only in the last paragraph.

Notes on the use of quotation marks:

Quotations refer to quoting the words of others in the text. Idioms, proverbs, poems, etc., also include onomatopoeia and transliterated words. Specific titles refer to names, abbreviations, special terms and anniversaries with certain characteristics. The words in the special meaning guideline have new meanings in their specific language environment.

When using quotations, pay attention to the position of the punctuation at the end of the quotation. Whenever quoted words are used independently, the final period must be placed inside the quotation marks. If the content of the quotation is an integral part of the sentence, that is, the quotation is not independent, there is no period mark at the end of the quotation part (question marks and exclamation marks can be retained), the entire sentence should pause at the appropriate pause point, and any period mark should be used.

Quotation marks are generally used to indicate quoted parts in the text. There are two types of double quotes and single quotes. In the Chinese context, the customary signs are different in different regions.

In mainland China, horizontal manuscripts generally use " " and ' ', and vertical (vertical) manuscripts use "" and "" (right-angle quotation marks); in Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, they are commonly used ""and"".

As for the origin of the right-angled quotation marks "" and "", there is no definite answer; according to a Japanese document, the first half of the right-angled quotation mark (called "hook bracket" in Japanese) "An point") and the second half ("hook painting" in Japanese) do not appear at the same time.
