Usage notes
Beian can be considered a misspelling of Bei'an. In theory, a syllable-dividing mark (隔音符號／隔音符号 (géyīn fúhào)) should be added before a non-initial syllable beginning with a, o, or e. Hence, Beian is not allowed since a word made up of bei and an would be spelled as Bei'an (cf. Bei'an). In practice, syllable-dividing marks are often added or omitted at will.
