0 1 title level and basic requirements
Headings are generally divided into main headings, sub-headings and sub-headings. (The following headings refer to the main headings unless otherwise specified)
Main title: The main title is the embodiment of the overall content of the article. Its requirement is to summarize the content of the article properly, be concise and eye-catching. The most common way is to show the key research points of the article, such as main viewpoints, research objects, research contents, research purposes, etc.
Subtitle: Subtitles are used to supplement and emphasize the main title, such as the definition of research scope, the focus of the paper, research methods, etc. In particular, some argumentative papers generally have a subtitle, such as adding a subtitle such as "discussing with XX" under the main title. Sometimes, the headline is an empty topic, while the subtitle is a real topic. For example, some authors quote poems, such as "I recommend Xuanyuan with blood-on Lu Xun's essays in the ten years before and after the May 4th Movement", "Listening to thunder in silence-dialysis of Lu Yao's tragic consciousness from the ordinary world" and so on. In this case, subtitle is subtitle and reality is dominant.
Subtitle: The main purpose of setting subtitle is to clearly show the level of the article. Make the article clear and readable. Subtitles must be set in a clear hierarchy, so as not to offend, that is, the subordinate titles are similar to or larger than the superior titles. At the same time, the subtitle should be a layer-by-layer analysis of the general title, reflecting whether the author's writing ideas are clear, so that readers can grasp the outline and understand the theme when reading.
