It must not be prefixed with the customary words representing China and the world, as well as regional and regional variants; it must not be prefixed with domain names other than the city where the school is located; schools organized by the provincial people’s government can use provincial naming, and other schools must use the province For the naming of the domain, the provincial people’s government shall be responsible for overall supervision, but the location of the school must be specified in the name.
