I remember I was tought such kind of rules in elementary school.
Wait...I found it in allegedly National Standards published by Chinese government:
http://www.china-language.gov.cn/gfbz/shanghi/020.htm
5.1 句号、问号、叹号、逗号、顿号、分号和冒号一般占一个字的位置，居左偏下，
不出现在一行之首。
5.2 引号、括号、书名号的
前一半不出现在一行之末，后一半不出现在一行之首。

To be honest, we really don't care about it.
Would you please cite some rules? I am quite interested in them.
