The Chinese School System is a large and coherent system that has developed rapidly sin the beginning of the People's Republic of China. Similar to most Western counties, the system mainly consists of three stages: preschools, primary schools and secondary schools. Each stage is closely connected to the adjacent stages, and the education level increases significantly as students progress.

*fascinating though they seem, many of the traditional practices are not so frequently used as in older times; new methods are taking their place. Some well-educated people or literature lovers would derive names from idioms, poems, and essays. A professor of my acquaintances is named "Yeqiu",referring to the idiom that "the leaf knows the approaching of autumn." Similarly, some people love to use a single character as the given name to constitute a double-character word with the family name. "Gao Xing",meaning happly, is a perfect example of this. Additionally, some casual parents may let the dictionary make the decision, combining good characters into a name or simply using the word on a randomly chosen page.

Some parents take their genealogy for reference when naming children, so taht siblings share some characters in their names, which make explicit their place in the family tree. For example, Li Huachun's brother may be named Li Huaqiu, having the same character "Hua".
