-====== gōngbù: 公布 - Announce, Proclaim, Make Public ====== +
-===== Quick Summary ===== +
-  * **Keywords:** 公布, gongbu, what does gongbu mean, how to use gongbu, announce in Chinese, publish in Chinese, make public in Chinese, Chinese word for proclaim, gongbu vs xuanbu, HSK 5 vocabulary, official announcement in Chinese. +
-  * **Summary:** Learn how to use the Chinese verb **公布 (gōngbù)**, which means to officially announce, publish, or make information public. This HSK 5 term is essential for understanding formal contexts, as it's typically used by governments, companies, and schools to release important information like new laws, financial results, or exam scores. This guide will break down its meaning, cultural significance, and compare it to similar words like 宣布 (xuānbù) to ensure you use it correctly. +
-===== Core Meaning ===== +
-  * **Pinyin (with tone marks):** gōng bù +
-  * **Part of Speech:** Verb +
-  * **HSK Level:** HSK 5 +
-  * **Concise Definition:** To officially announce or make information public. +
-  * **In a Nutshell:** Think of **公布 (gōngbù)** as the formal word for when an authority "puts something on the bulletin board" for everyone to see. It’s not for casual announcements like telling friends you're getting married. Instead, it's used when a government, school, or company releases official, factual information like results, lists, data, or new rules. It implies a formal, one-to-many communication. +
-===== Character Breakdown ===== +
-  * **公 (gōng):** This character means "public," "common," or "official." It's the same character found in words like 公园 (gōngyuán, public park) and 公司 (gōngsī, company). It signifies something shared by all. +
-  * **布 (bù):** This character originally meant "cloth." From this, it developed the meaning "to spread" or "to distribute," like spreading a cloth out for all to see. It's also used in the word 宣布 (xuānbù, to declare). +
-  * Together, **公布 (gōngbù)** literally means "to spread to the public" or "to publicly distribute," which perfectly captures its modern meaning of making information officially available to everyone. +
-===== Cultural Context and Significance ===== +
-  * In Chinese culture, there's a strong emphasis on official channels and authoritative sources. **公布 (gōngbù)** embodies this concept. When information is "公布-ed," it gains a level of official legitimacy and seriousness. It signifies that the information has been finalized by an authority and is now being disseminated to the public. +
-  * Compared to the English word "announce," **公布 (gōngbù)** is far more formal and less personal. In the West, a celebrity might "announce" a new project, or a couple might "announce" their engagement. In Chinese, these situations would use different words. **公布 (gōngbù)** is almost exclusively reserved for institutions and organizations communicating with the public. Using it for personal news would sound strange and overly dramatic. +
-  * This term reflects a top-down information flow that is common in many aspects of Chinese society. You wait for the school to **公布** the results; you wait for the government to **公布** a new policy. It implies a clear distinction between the information holder (the authority) and the information receiver (the public). +
-===== Practical Usage in Modern China ===== +
-  * **公布 (gōngbù)** is a staple of formal written and spoken Chinese. You will encounter it constantly in the news, official documents, and on institutional websites. +
-  * **Common Contexts:** +
-    * **Government/Legal:** Announcing new laws, regulations, or public notices. (e.g., 公布新法规 - gōngbù xīn fǎguī - to announce a new regulation). +
-    * **Education:** Publishing exam scores, admission lists, or school calendars. (e.g., 公布考试成绩 - gōngbù kǎoshì chéngjì - to announce exam scores). +
-    * **Business:** Releasing financial reports, quarterly earnings, or lists of new hires. (e.g., 公布财务报告 - gōngbù cáiwù bàogào - to announce a financial report). +
-    * **Competitions:** Announcing the list of winners or finalists. (e.g., 公布获奖名单 - gōngbù huòjiǎng míngdān - to announce the list of award winners). +
-  * **Formality & Connotation:** It is a highly formal and neutral term. It simply describes the action of making information public without adding any positive or negative flavor. +

-    * **公布 (gōngbù):** Focuses on making **information or data** public (lists, reports, results, statistics). The information already exists; the action is making it visible. +

-      * Correct: **发表**一篇文章 (fābiǎo yī piān wénzhāng) - To publish an article. +

-    * **通知 (tōngzhī):** Means to "notify" or "inform." It is often directed at a specific group and can be less formal. It's the action of getting a message to someone. A **通知** (noun: a notice) might be the document used to **公布** (verb: to announce) information. +
