Transcriptions
Standard Mandarin

IPA	[tsàʊ.ljɛ̂n]

Zaolian in mainland China means "to have a romantic relationship too early"^[1] and refers to adolescent romantic relationships before university. In China, many conservative parents and educators supporting examination-based education think that zaolian will bring many problems such as affecting students' study ability and marks, or that zaolian relationships will almost always split in the end.
