Chinese characters must be in the traditional, full form. The preceding paragraphs apply equally to the main text and the footnotes. One need not supply characters for place names, classic texts, dynasties, and persons, etc. One should supply characters only at the first use of a term, unless it has appeared earlier only in the notes, or to avoid ambiguity. Your text is in triplicate, using good quality photocopying.
