生效
When something 生效 (shēng xiào), it means it officially starts working or becomes valid. Think of it like a new rule or a contract – once it 生效, everyone needs to follow it. For example, a new law might 生效 next month. Until then, the old law is still in place. It's about things becoming active and having legal or practical power.
When something 生效 (shēng xiào), it means it starts to be valid or operative. Think of it like a new rule or contract that wasn't active before, but now it is. For example, a new law might 生效 on a certain date. Before that date, the law isn't in use, but after it, it is. It's a useful word to know for talking about official agreements or rules.
When something 生效 (shēng xiào), it means it officially starts to work or becomes valid. Think of it like a new rule or contract kicking in. It's not just a plan anymore; it's real and active.
You'll often hear this with laws, agreements, or policies. For example, a new policy might 生效 next month. It describes the moment something transitions from pending to operational.
When something 生效 (shēng xiào), it means it officially starts to work or becomes valid. Think of it like a new rule or contract kicking in. It's not just a plan anymore; it's active.
You’ll often hear this when talking about laws, agreements, or policies. For example, a new policy might 生效 next month. It highlights the moment something moves from an idea to an actionable reality.
When something 生效 (shēng xiào), it means it officially becomes active, valid, or operative. This term is often used for laws, contracts, policies, or agreements. For instance, a new law might 生效 on a specific date, meaning it's legally binding from that point forward. It implies a transition from an inactive or pending state to an active and recognized one. Therefore, if you hear that a regulation will 生效 next month, it means you should expect it to be enforced starting then.
When something 生效 (shēng xiào), it means it officially becomes active, valid, or takes effect. Think of it like a new rule starting, a contract becoming binding, or a law being implemented.
It's often used for things that have a formal start date or condition. For example, a new policy might 生效 on a certain day, or a signed agreement will 生效 once all parties agree.
You wouldn't typically use it for everyday actions like a person starting to work, but rather for documents, regulations, or decisions that gain official status.
Understanding 生效 is key for discussing legal matters, official announcements, or any situation where a formal process begins its operation.

§ Don't confuse 生效 with 工作 (gōngzuò)
Many learners, especially at the B1 level, might mistakenly use 工作 (gōngzuò) when they mean that something is taking effect. While 工作 can mean 'to work' or 'to function', it's not the right word for something becoming legally or officially operative. Think of it this way: a law 'takes effect' (生效), but a machine 'works' (工作). The former implies a change in status or validity, while the latter implies an ongoing action or capability.
- DEFINITION
- 工作 (gōngzuò): To work; to function; a job; work.
Using 工作 when you should use 生效 can lead to some awkward sentences:
合同明天开始工作。(Incorrect: The contract starts working tomorrow.)
合同明天开始生效。(Correct: The contract starts to take effect tomorrow.)
§ Not using an object after 生效
生效 is an intransitive verb. This means it doesn't usually take a direct object. You say 'The law takes effect,' not 'The law takes effect *something*.' If you want to specify what *makes* something take effect, you'll need to rephrase your sentence.
新政策生效了规定。(Incorrect: The new policy took effect the regulation.)
Instead, you should say:
新政策生效了。(Correct: The new policy took effect.)
Or, if you want to be more specific about what is taking effect:
新政策的规定生效了。(Correct: The regulations of the new policy took effect.)
§ Overusing it in contexts where other words are more natural
While 生效 is correct for laws, contracts, or policies, it might sound a bit formal or clunky in less official contexts. For example, if you want to say a medicine 'works', you wouldn't typically use 生效.
- For medicine, you'd usually use 有效 (yǒuxiào), meaning 'effective' or 'valid'.
- For a plan or strategy, you might use 成功 (chénggōng) meaning 'successful', or just say it 'worked' (起了作用 - qǐ le zuòyòng).
- DEFINITION
- 有效 (yǒuxiào): Effective; valid.
这个药明天开始生效。(Awkward: This medicine starts to take effect tomorrow.)
这个药明天开始有效。(Better: This medicine is effective starting tomorrow.)
- DEFINITION
- 起了作用 (qǐ le zuòyòng): To have an effect; to work.
我的计划生效了。(Awkward: My plan took effect.)
我的计划成功了。(Better: My plan succeeded.)
Or:
我的计划起了作用。(Better: My plan worked / had an effect.)

"此法案自公布之日起生效。"
"这份协议即日生效。"

"新的游戏规则从今天开始算！"

अक्सर इससे भ्रम होता है
生效 (verb) means 'to become effective/valid'. 有效 (adjective) means 'is effective/valid'.
生效 is about legal/official validity. 见效 is about showing results or efficacy.
生效 is specific to validity. 发生 is a general term for something happening.
आसानी से भ्रमित होने वाले
Both 生效 and 有效 relate to something being 'effective' or 'valid'. However, 有效 is an adjective describing something that *is* effective or valid, while 生效 is a verb describing the *process* of becoming effective.
生效 (shēngxiào) is a verb meaning 'to take effect' or 'to become valid'. 有效 (yǒuxiào) is an adjective meaning 'effective' or 'valid'.
合同明天生效。(Hétong míngtiān shēngxiào.) - The contract takes effect tomorrow. / 这张票仍然有效。(Zhè zhāng piào réngrán yǒuxiào.) - This ticket is still valid.
Both imply a positive result. However, 生效 is about the legal or official start of something's validity, while 见效 is about seeing the results or efficacy of an action or remedy.
生效 (shēngxiào) is about something becoming officially valid or operative. 见效 (jiànxiào) means 'to show results' or 'to be effective' in terms of an action, medicine, or effort.
新政策已经生效了。(Xīn zhèngcè yǐjīng shēngxiàole.) - The new policy has already taken effect. / 这种药很快就见效。(Zhè zhǒng yào hěn kuài jiù jiànxiào.) - This medicine will quickly show results.
Both refer to something coming into existence or starting. However, 生效 specifically refers to the validity of something, while 发生 is a more general term for something happening or occurring.

Both relate to implementing or starting something. However, 生效 is about the legal status of something, while 实行 is about putting a plan or policy into practice.
生效 (shēngxiào) means 'to take effect' or 'to become valid'. 实行 (shíxíng) means 'to implement', 'to put into practice', or 'to carry out'.

Similar to 实行, both involve putting things into action. 生效 is about the official start of validity, while 实施 is about the practical execution of a plan or project.

सुझाव
Basic Meaning
生效 (shēng xiào) literally means to 'produce' (生) an 'effect' (效). So, it's about something becoming effective.
Common Usage
You'll often see 生效 used with things like contracts, policies, laws, rules, or agreements. For example, 合同生效 (hétong shēngxiào) means 'the contract takes effect'.
Sentence Structure
It usually follows the pattern: [Thing] + 生效. For instance, 新规定今天生效 (xīn guīdìng jīntiān shēngxiào), which means 'The new regulation takes effect today'.
Opposite Term
The opposite of 生效 is 失效 (shī xiào), meaning to lose effect, to become invalid, or to expire. Remember 失 (shī) often means 'lose' or 'fail'.
With Time Phrases
You can add time phrases to specify when something takes effect. From tomorrow: 从明天开始生效 (cóng míngtiān kāishǐ shēngxiào). Immediately: 立即生效 (lìjí shēngxiào).
Formal Context
生效 is a more formal term, usually found in official documents, news, or business contexts, not typically in casual daily chat. For instance, it's for when a visa becomes valid.
Don't Confuse With
Don't confuse it with 有效 (yǒuxiào), which means 'effective' or 'valid'. 有效 describes a state, while 生效 describes the action of becoming effective. A contract is 有效 (valid) after it 生效 (takes effect).
Example: Law
这项法律将于下个月生效 (Zhè xiàng fǎlǜ jiāng yú xià gè yuè shēngxiào). This means 'This law will take effect next month'.
Example: Policy
新政策已经生效了 (Xīn zhèngcè yǐjīng shēngxiào le). This translates to 'The new policy has already become operative'.
Example: Agreement
双方协议已于昨天生效 (Shuāngfāng xiéyì yǐ yú zuótiān shēngxiào). Meaning: 'The agreement between both parties took effect yesterday'.
शब्द की उत्पत्ति
The character '生' (shēng) means 'to be born, to produce, to live', and '效' (xiào) means 'effect, result, efficacy'.
मूल अर्थ: The combination literally means 'to produce an effect' or 'to come into effect'.
Sino-Tibetan, Chinese.सांस्कृतिक संदर्भ
When something '生效', it moves from a state of being planned or proposed to a state of active operation. This concept is really important in legal and administrative contexts in China, like when a new law starts, or when a contract becomes official. You'll often hear it in news or business discussions.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल
10 सवालBoth 生效 and 开始 mean 'to start,' but they're used in different contexts. 生效 (shēng xiào) specifically means 'to take effect' or 'become valid' for rules, contracts, laws, or policies. It implies a formal process that makes something officially active. For example, '新政策下个月生效' (Xīn zhèngcè xià gè yuè shēngxiào - The new policy takes effect next month). 开始 (kāishǐ) is a more general term meaning 'to begin' or 'to start' for actions, events, or processes that aren't necessarily formal or legal. For example, '我们开始上课了' (Wǒmen kāishǐ shàngkèle - We started class).
No, 生效 (shēng xiào) cannot be used for a person. It's used for inanimate things like rules, agreements, or systems that become active or valid. You wouldn't say '他生效了' (Tā shēngxiào le - He took effect), that doesn't make sense. For people, you'd use verbs like '开始工作' (kāishǐ gōngzuò - start working) or '上任' (shàngrèn - take office).
To say something is 'in effect' or 'valid,' you can use 生效 (shēng xiào) directly with the subject, often followed by '了' (le) to indicate a completed action or change of state. For example: '合同已经生效了' (Hétong yǐjīng shēngxiào le - The contract has already taken effect). Or, '这个规定从今天开始生效' (Zhège guīdìng cóng jīntiān kāishǐ shēngxiào - This regulation takes effect starting today).
The most common opposite of 生效 (shēng xiào) is 失效 (shī xiào), which means 'to become invalid' or 'to expire.' For example: '这个签证下个月失效' (Zhège qiānzhèng xià gè yuè shīxiào - This visa expires next month). Another related term is 废除 (fèichú), meaning 'to abolish' or 'to repeal' a law or rule.
While 生效 (shēng xiào) technically means 'to take effect,' it's not typically used for medicine in the sense of 'the medicine starts to work.' For medicine, you would usually say 起作用 (qǐ zuòyòng), meaning 'to take effect' or 'to work.' For example, '这种药很快起作用' (Zhè zhǒng yào hěn kuài qǐ zuòyòng - This medicine works quickly). You might hear '药效生效了' (yàoxiào shēngxiào le), but '起作用' is more natural.
生效 (shēng xiào) often implies a specific time or condition for something to become active. It's usually clear when or under what circumstances it will take effect. For example: '这项法律将于明年一月一日生效' (Zhè xiàng fǎlǜ jiāng yú míngnián yī yuè yī rì shēngxiào - This law will take effect on January 1st next year). If no specific time is mentioned, it generally means it has become effective or will become effective in the near future based on context.
生效 (shēng xiào) is generally a formal term. You'll often find it in official documents, contracts, laws, regulations, and formal announcements. It's less common in casual everyday conversation unless you're talking about something with formal implications, like a new company policy.
No, 生效 (shēng xiào) is an intransitive verb, meaning it doesn't take a direct object. The thing that takes effect is the subject of the sentence. You wouldn't say '生效一个合同' (shēngxiào yī gè hétong - take effect a contract). Instead, you would say '合同生效了' (hétong shēngxiào le - the contract took effect).
To ask 'When does it take effect?' you can say: '什么时候生效?' (Shénme shíhou shēngxiào? - When does it take effect?) or '它什么时候开始生效?' (Tā shénme shíhou kāishǐ shēngxiào? - When does it start to take effect?). For example, if discussing a new policy: '这个新规定什么时候生效?' (Zhège xīn guīdìng shénme shíhou shēngxiào? - When does this new regulation take effect?)
No, 生效 (shēng xiào) is not used to say a plan worked out or was successful. It specifically means something became officially operative or valid. For a plan working out, you would use phrases like '成功了' (chénggōng le - succeeded), '奏效了' (zòuxiào le - had effect/worked), or '有效果' (yǒu xiàoguǒ - effective). For example, '我们的计划奏效了' (Wǒmen de jìhuà zòuxiào le - Our plan worked).

This sentence means 'The contract takes effect tomorrow.' '合同' is the subject, '明天' is the time adverbial, and '生效' is the verb.
This sentence means 'The new policy has already taken effect.' '新政策' (new policy) is the subject, '已经' (already) indicates completion, and '生效了' means 'has taken effect'.
This sentence asks 'When will this regulation take effect?' '这个规定' (this regulation) is the subject, and '什么时候生效' (when take effect) is the question phrase.
Choose the best sentence using 生效.
生效 means 'to take effect'. Only '这项新政策下个月开始生效' (This new policy will take effect next month) uses it correctly. The other options are grammatically incorrect or nonsensical.
Which sentence correctly implies a contract becoming valid?
生效 is typically used for rules, policies, laws, or contracts becoming active. '合同签署后，立即生效' (The contract will take effect immediately after signing) is the correct usage. The other options are awkward or incorrect.
When would a new rule '生效'?
生效 specifically refers to something becoming operative or valid. While announcement and publication are steps, the actual 'taking effect' happens when it is officially implemented and legally binding.
所有新法律一经通过就会立即生效。
Not all new laws take effect immediately after being passed. Some may have a delayed effective date or require further procedures before becoming operative.
你的努力最终会生效，带来好结果。
生效 is used for rules, policies, or agreements, not for personal effort leading to results. A more appropriate phrase here would be '带来效果' (to bring about an effect/result) or '起到作用' (to play a role/be effective).
这个优惠券今天午夜后就生效了。
If it '生效了' (already took effect), then it's valid *from* midnight. If it becomes invalid *after* midnight, then it '过期了' (expired) or '失效了' (became invalid). The sentence implies it starts being valid after midnight, but if it says '就生效了', it means it *has already* taken effect, which contradicts '今天午夜后' if the sentence is interpreted as 'it will take effect after midnight'. If it means it takes effect starting midnight today, then it would be '今天午夜起生效' or '从今天午夜开始生效'. The original phrasing is ambiguous but usually implies 'it takes effect from then on'. If it means it *stops* being effective, it's incorrect. If it means it *starts* being effective, it should be phrased differently for clarity in a true/false context.
This policy will take effect next month.
The contract has been signed, but it has not yet taken effect.

This means 'This law has already taken effect.'
This means 'The agreement can only take effect after signing.'
