National regulations on naming newborns:
There are no special regulations on naming newborns. Theoretically speaking, how to choose a name is a free right enjoyed by citizens, but naming is not just a private matter, because the name must be registered with the household registration authority, which is for the needs of social management. Whether it is the household registration book or the ID card that will be issued in the future, they are documents and certificates that are confirmed by public authorities and have legal effect. Although there is currently no national regulation that specifically regulates names, the National Common Language and Character Law stipulates in principle: "State agencies use Mandarin and standardized Chinese characters as the official language." Due to historical reasons, the law also stipulates that surnames can be Keep variant characters. Household registration at the police station is obviously an official activity, and the refusal to use special symbols and foreign language letters to register names is well-founded in law.
