Chinese punctuation uses a different set of punctuation marks from European languages. Chinese punctuation only became an integral part of the written language in the 20th century The first book to be printed with modern punctuation was Outline of the History of Chinese Philosophy (中國哲學史大綱) by Hu Shi (胡適), published in 1919. Scholars did, however, annotate texts with symbols resembling the modern '。' and '、' (see below) to indicate full-stops and pauses, respectively.

- Chinese punctuation uses a different set of punctuation marks from European languages. Chinese punctuation only became an integral part of the written language in the 20th century The first book to be printed with modern punctuation was Outline of the History of Chinese Philosophy (中國哲學史大綱) by Hu Shi (胡適), published in 1919. Scholars did, however, annotate texts with symbols resembling the modern '。' and '、' (see below) to indicate full-stops and pauses, respectively. Traditional poetry and calligraphy maintains the punctuation-free style. Nearly all East Asian punctuation marks are larger than their European counterparts and occupy a square area that is the same size as the characters around them. These punctuation marks are called fullwidth to contrast them from halfwidth European punctuation marks. Chinese characters can be written horizontally or vertically. Some punctuation marks adapt to this change in direction: the parentheses, curved brackets, square quotation marks, book title marks, ellipsis mark and dash all rotate 90° clockwise when used in vertical text. The three underline-like punctuation marks in Chinese (proper noun mark, wavy book title mark, and emphasis mark) rotate and shift to the left side of the text in vertical script (shifting to the right side of the text is also possible, but this is outmoded and can clash with the placement of other punctuation marks). There are major differences between European and Chinese punctuation marks.
