An appeal refers to an activity in which a party, within the statutory time limit, declares in accordance with the law that he is not satisfied with a judgment, ruling or review decision of first instance made by a people's court that has not yet become legally effective, and submits it to the people's court at the next higher level for retrial.
 However, for divorce proceedings, if the first trial does not leave, and there is no new situation or new reason, no further proceedings are allowed within six months.
