Overview

举行 (jǔxíng) 是一个常用的汉语动词，表示“举办”、“召开”或“举行”某个活动、会议或仪式。它带有一定的正式色彩，常用于描述有组织、有计划的事件。这个词语在日常交流和书面语中都广泛使用，是掌握汉语 A2 级别词汇的重要组成部分。

举行主要用于描述需要正式安排和执行的活动。它后面通常接具体的活动名称，如会议、仪式、比赛、展览等。例如，“举行会议”、“举行婚礼”、“举行运动会”。它强调的是活动的“进行”和“实施”过程，而不是简单的“有”或“发生”。

举行常出现在以下语境中：

官方通知：在新闻报道、公告中，经常使用举行来描述即将发生的活动。

与“举办 (jǔbàn)”相比，“举行”更侧重于活动的“进行”和“实施”过程，尤其是在仪式性或正式性场合。“举办”则更侧重于“发起”和“组织”一个活动，范围更广，可以用于商业活动、培训班等。“召开 (zhàokāi)”则专门用于会议，表示“召集并开会”。

例如：

  • 我们将举行一个盛大的婚礼。（强调婚礼的进行）
  • 他在上海举办了一场画展。（强调画展的组织和发起）

'Zhàokāi' is specifically used for meetings, meaning to convene or call a meeting. It's much narrower in scope than 'jǔxíng'.

Tips

💡

Remember 'jǔxíng' for planned, formal events. It's about the execution.

Word Origin

The character 举 (jǔ) means 'to raise' or 'to lift', and 行 (xíng) means 'to go', 'to do', or 'to act'. Together, 举行 implies 'to lift and carry out', signifying the formal commencement and execution of an event.
