how to redirect old website url to new page?

[adrianmak]

My old html website just has pages not more than twenty

I like to add redirect link in htaccess file instead of using a pw module

I found that there are many lines of config related to mod_rewrite rules

Just for example

Redirect 301 /about-us.html /about/about-us

It could redirect, but it will attach original page at the end

something like that
http://my.domaion.com/about/about-us/?it=about-us.html

Why not use http://modules.processwire.com/modules/process-jumplinks/ ? Wouldn't that be less problematic?

You'd be better off using Jumplinks as it is, as @eelkenet says, less problematic. However, if you really want to use mod_rewrite:

# Place under RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^oldpage.html$ /new-location/? [R=302,L]

To make permanent, switch out 302 for 301.
