The Chinese Tone Changes is not customary to designate, it is not written, but you are supposed to just know the rule and apply it if you say the word aloud.
The reason for this is that in many cases.
For example, if the tone change is written, it can make learner confused as to what the “normal” tone of a character is actually supposed to be.
Also you might wonder, “is this a third tone written as a second tone because it’s followed by a third tone, or is this character always a second tone?” Always writing the original tones solves this problem.
