The general principle is to divide a word according to its syllables. Pay attention to the following :

2.One letter of a word cannot be written at the end or at the beginning of a line, even if that one letter makes up a syllable: a.lone,
3) Do not put a two –letter syllable at the beginning of a line: hat-ed, cab-in.
4) Avoid parating proper names of people and places: Chi-na, Aus-ten.
5)Divide hyphenated words only at the hyphen: father-in-law, empty-handed.
6) Do not divide words in a way that may mislead the reader: pea-cock,re-ally.
7) Do not divide the last word on a page. Write the whole word on the next page.
8) Divide words with prefixes and suffixes and the ba part of the word: re-state-ment, un-relent-ing纸玫瑰花.
9) Divide two-syllable words with double consonants between the two consonants（辅音）: strug-gle, shat-ter江豆的功效与作用.
Attention: Word division is difficult.
