  "abstract": "Recently, Majorana Fermions (MFs) have attracted intensive attention due to their exotic statistics and possible applications in topological quantum computation (TQC). They are proposed to exist in various two-dimensional (2D) topological systems, such as px+ipy topological superconductor and nanowire-superconducting hybridization system. In this paper, two types of Majorana Fermions with different polygon sign rules are pointed out. A \"smoking gun\" numerical evidence to identify MF's classification is presented through looking for the signature of a first order topological quantum phase transition. By using it, several 2D topological superconductors are studied.",
