Abstract

Guidelines for understanding the structure of Chinese personal names for constructing valid entries and access points in catalogues, including romanization schemes. This 2020 IFLA document outlines naming conventions in Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macao, covering name order, elements (surnames, given names, pen names, religious and royal titles), and regional romanization practices such as Hanyu Pinyin and Cantonese systems. It also provides authority file references and cataloguing rules from national institutions.
