Article level numbering should be in Arabic numerals and arranged in the "1," "1.1," "1.1.1" format, arranging up to three-level headings, and below that, expressions like (1), (2), (3) could be used.

8.  Figures & Tables

Figures and tables should appear alongside the text and strive to be simplified, without repeating the same content through figures, tables, and textual descriptions in the main text. Titles of figures and tables should be provided in both Chinese and English. Color figures are acceptable and should be consistently sized, generally not exceeding 7 cm×5 cm, with all letters and words in the figure being of uniform size.
