When you want to say that a meeting is being convened, you use the word 召开 (zhàokāi). It's a formal way to say that people are gathering for an official discussion.
You'll often hear it used in news reports or formal announcements when talking about things like government meetings or company conferences. So, if you hear that a meeting is being 召开, it means it's about to start or has just started.
§ What does it mean and when do people use it?
The Chinese verb 召开 (zhàokāi) means 'to convene' or 'to hold' a meeting, conference, or similar formal gathering. It's used when an organization or a group officially brings people together for a specific purpose. Think of it as the formal way to say 'to start' or 'to organize' a meeting. You wouldn't use it for a casual get-together with friends, but rather for more structured events.
- DEFINITION
- To convene (a meeting, conference, etc.). To call and hold (a meeting).
You'll often see 召开 used in news reports, official announcements, business contexts, and government communications. It implies a sense of formality and planning. It's about bringing people together for a common, often important, agenda.
Here are some common situations where 召开 is used:
- Company Meetings: When a company holds a board meeting, a shareholder meeting, or an all-hands meeting.
- Government Conferences: When a government agency convenes a press conference or an official summit.
- Academic Gatherings: When a university or research institution organizes a seminar or a symposium.
- International Events: When organizations hold international conferences or forums.
It's crucial to understand that 召开 specifically refers to the act of initiating and holding the event. It's not about merely attending or participating. The subject of 召开 is usually the entity or person responsible for organizing the event.
Let's look at some examples to make this clearer:
公司决定召开全体员工会议。
- TRANSLATION HINT
- The company decided to convene an all-staff meeting.
In this example, the company is the one taking the action of convening the meeting. It's an official decision.
政府将召开新闻发布会。
- TRANSLATION HINT
- The government will hold a press conference.
Here, the government is the organizer of the press conference. It's a planned, public event.
Understanding when to use 召开 helps you sound more natural and precise in formal Chinese communication. Don't use it for casual meetups. Stick to official or planned gatherings.

よく混同される語
This is a common and correct usage, directly meaning 'to convene a meeting'. The redundancy is acceptable and sometimes used for emphasis, though 召开 alone often implies 'meeting'.
This is the most common informal way to say 'to have a meeting' or 'to hold a meeting'. It's simpler and more casual than 召开.
While 开幕 also involves 'opening', it specifically refers to 'opening a ceremony', 'opening an exhibition', or 'opening a season', not convening a meeting.
文法パターン
間違えやすい
Both 召开 and 举行 can mean 'to hold' or 'to conduct' events. The confusion arises because in some contexts, they seem interchangeable.
召开 specifically means 'to convene a meeting' or 'to call a conference', focusing on the act of initiating and gathering people for a formal discussion. It implies a sense of official summons. 举行 is more general, meaning 'to hold' or 'to stage' an event, ceremony, or competition. It doesn't carry the specific nuance of 'convening a meeting'.
学校<b>举行</b>了毕业典礼。(The school <b>held</b> a graduation ceremony.) 会议<b>召开</b>得很顺利。(The meeting <b>was convened</b> very smoothly.)
开 is a very common verb with many meanings, including 'to open' and 'to hold' (a meeting). This overlap with 召开 can be confusing for learners.
开 can be used informally to mean 'to hold a meeting' (e.g., 开会). However, 召开 is more formal and emphasizes the official act of convening, often used in written reports or formal announcements. 开 is a simpler, everyday verb.
我们明天要<b>开</b>一个短会。(We need to <b>hold</b> a short meeting tomorrow.) 公司<b>召开</b>了年度股东大会。(The company <b>convened</b> its annual general meeting.)
集合 means 'to gather' or 'to assemble', which might seem similar to the 'gathering' aspect of 召开.
集合 focuses on the act of people coming together or being brought together at a specific place. 召开 specifically refers to the official act of initiating and holding a meeting or conference, which implies a purpose beyond just gathering.
请大家在公园门口<b>集合</b>。(Everyone, please <b>gather</b> at the park entrance.) 委员会<b>召开</b>紧急会议。(The committee <b>convened</b> an emergency meeting.)
召集 means 'to summon' or 'to call together', which is very close in meaning to 召开.
召集 focuses on the act of bringing people together or summoning them. 召开 combines the act of summoning (召) with the act of opening/holding (开) a meeting or conference, thus encompassing the entire event. 召集 is more about the action of getting people there, while 召开 is about the event itself.
他<b>召集</b>了所有员工开会。(He <b>summoned</b> all employees for a meeting.) 董事会<b>召开</b>了例行会议。(The board of directors <b>convened</b> a regular meeting.)
This phrase explicitly includes 'meeting' and uses 举行, making it seem very similar to 召开.
While 举行会议 is grammatically correct and means 'to hold a meeting', 召开 is a more concise and often more formal way to express the same idea, particularly when emphasizing the official convening of the meeting. 召开 is a single verb that implies 'to convene a meeting', whereas 举行会议 is a verb-object construction.
他们决定<b>举行会议</b>讨论新项目。(They decided to <b>hold a meeting</b> to discuss the new project.) 联合国<b>召开</b>了世界和平峰会。(The United Nations <b>convened</b> a world peace summit.)

使い方
召开 (zhàokāi) means to convene or hold a meeting. It is typically used for formal events like conferences, seminars, or official gatherings. You would not use it for a casual get-together with friends. Think of it as a more formal and official way to say 'to hold' when referring to events where people gather for a specific purpose.
A common mistake is using 召开 for informal gatherings. For example, you wouldn't say '召开一个派对' (zhàokāi yī gè pàiduì - convene a party). Instead, you would use 举行 (jǔxíng) for a party or event, or simply 说 (shuō) for a casual chat. 召开 implies a certain level of formality and purpose for the gathering.

よくある質問
10 問You use 召开 with things like meetings. It's usually something official or formal. You can't 召开 your friends to watch a movie, for example. You'd use a different verb for that, like 约 (yuē) to invite. It's usually a large meeting as well. You wouldn't use it for a small team meeting. You could say: 公司今天召开了一个重要的会议。 (The company convened an important meeting today.)
Yes, 召开 is quite formal. It implies a sense of officialness or gravity. You wouldn't use it in casual conversation. Think of it like 'to convene' in English – you wouldn't 'convene a party,' you'd 'hold a party.'
开会 (kāi huì) means 'to hold a meeting' or 'to have a meeting.' It's more general and can be used for any kind of meeting, big or small, formal or informal. 召开, on the other hand, specifically means 'to convene' and is usually for larger, more formal, or official meetings. Think of 召开 as a more specific and formal way to say 'hold a meeting' when referring to official gatherings. You would say: 我们下午要开会。 (We have a meeting this afternoon.) You wouldn't use 召开 here unless it was a very formal, pre-planned meeting.
No, you cannot use 召开 for parties or concerts. 召开 is specifically for official gatherings like meetings, conferences, or assemblies. For parties, you might say 举办派对 (jǔbàn pàiduì - to hold a party) or simply 开派对 (kāi pàiduì - to have a party). For concerts, you'd use something like 举办音乐会 (jǔbàn yīnyuèhuì - to hold a concert).
Yes, absolutely! 召开 is very common in news reports, government announcements, and official documents. It adds a formal and authoritative tone, which is appropriate for these contexts. For example, you might see: 政府将召开新闻发布会。 (The government will convene a press conference.)
Yes, it can. The subject of 召开 can be a person, a group, or an organization that is responsible for convening the meeting. For example: 主席召开了紧急会议。 (The chairman convened an emergency meeting.)
召开 usually takes nouns that refer to official gatherings. Common objects include: 会议 (huìyì - meeting), 大会 (dàhuì - conference/assembly), 研讨会 (yántǎohuì - seminar), 记者会 (jìzhěhuì - press conference), 听证会 (tīngzhènghuì - hearing). You'll often see it with these kinds of words.
The most common and general informal synonym is 开会 (kāi huì), meaning 'to hold a meeting' or 'to have a meeting.' While not a direct synonym in terms of formality, it covers the same general idea of gathering people for a discussion. If you're talking about arranging something with friends, you'd use something like 约 (yuē) for 'to invite/arrange to meet.'
You would say: 召开大会 (zhàokāi dàhuì) or 召开会议 (zhàokāi huìyì). Both are correct, with 大会 (dàhuì) often implying a larger or more significant conference. For instance: 他们将召开国际大会。 (They will convene an international conference.)
Yes, it can, though it's often more common to use an active construction. If you want to use passive, you might use 被 (bèi). For example: 会议被召开了。 (The meeting was convened.) However, it's often more natural to say: 会议召开了。 (The meeting convened/was convened), or specify who convened it in an active sentence.
