abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">The high-order harmonic generation (HHG) has attracted much attention due to its wide application in 
attosecond science in last decades. The selection rules have also been broadly studied in experiments 
and theories since they play an important role in HHG. In this review, we give an overview of recent 
developments on selection rules of HHG from atoms to molecules. For targets with rotational symmetries, 
if the rotational symmetries of targets and laser pulses are the M-fold (the projective symmetry on the 
laser polarization plane) and L-fold, the selection rules are Nk ± 1, where N is the the greatest common 
divisor of M and L. However, for asymmetric molecules in non-Born-Oppenheimer approximation, the situation 
is more complicated, where the nuclear dipole acceleration can produce even harmonics, but it is three 
orders lower than that of the electron. Hence, the HHG is mainly relied on the electronic dipole 
acceleration. In this case, the broken degree of system-symmetry dominates the generation of even-order 
 harmonics.</p>},
