The language quoted is not independent, and punctuation marks are outside quotation marks.
The specific use method is as follows:
1. If the reference is independent and the meaning is complete, put the period in quotation marks.
Example: I think of a poem by Jia Dao in the Tang Dynasty: "But through these clouds, how do I know which corner of the mountain it is facing?" ."
2. If the quotation is incomplete or used as part of the writing, the period will be put outside quotation marks or not used.
There are two situations:
(1) There is no need to pause before the quotation mark ends, so there cannot be any punctuation after it.
For example, "looking down on a thousand fingers and bowing down as a willing ox" is a portrayal of Mr. Lu Xun's actions.
(2) The quotation marks only need to stop at the end, so the period should follow the quotation marks.
Example: Alleys, springs, green grass and moss have all become elusive shadows-it can really be said that "dreams are deep and deep, and every street and lane is always close to love".
