Overview
实行 (shíxíng) 是一个常用的动词，意思是“实施”、“执行”或“推行”。它表示将一个计划、政策、规定、法律或想法付诸实践，使其真正地被执行和应用。这个词语通常用于描述一项决定或计划被正式开始并运作的过程。
实行主要用于描述正式的、有计划的行动。它可以接在具体的事物后面，表示对这些事物的实施。例如，可以“实行一项政策”、“实行一项计划”、“实行一项规定”、“实行一项措施”或“实行一项改革”。它强调的是从“说”到“做”的转变，是从理论到实践的过程。
实行经常出现在新闻报道、政府公告、公司内部通知、学校规定以及日常生活中关于执行某项计划或规则的讨论中。例如，政府可能会宣布一项新的税收政策，并说明将从下个月开始实行。学校可能会实行新的考勤制度。公司可能会实行新的工作流程。
与“执行 (zhíxíng)”相比，“实行”更侧重于将一个已经存在的计划或政策投入实际操作，强调的是“开始做”和“推广”。而“执行”则更强调按照规定或命令去完成任务，有时带有强制性，侧重于“完成”或“贯彻”。例如，我们可以说“实行一项新规定”，也可以说“执行一项命令”。
与“办理 (bànlǐ)”相比，“实行”是关于实施一个整体的计划或政策，而“办理”通常指处理具体的事务或手续，如“办理登机手续”、“办理贷款”。
与“推行 (tuīxíng)”相比，“推行”更强调主动地去推广和普及某项事物，使其被更多人接受和使用，带有推广的意味。而“实行”则更侧重于实际的实施和运作，不一定强调推广。
例如：
Examples

Often Confused With
While both mean 'to carry out', '执行' (zhíxíng) often implies carrying out a command, order, or a duty, with a stronger sense of enforcement. '实行' (shíxíng) is more about putting a plan, policy, or system into practice.
'推行' (tuīxíng) means to promote and popularize something, emphasizing the effort to make it widely accepted or adopted. '实行' (shíxíng) focuses more on the actual implementation and operation of something already decided upon.
Grammar Patterns
How to Use It
Usage Notes
1. 实行 is generally used in formal contexts, such as government announcements, policy changes, or organizational procedures. 2. It implies the beginning of the operation or application of something previously decided. 3. It is often followed by nouns that represent plans, policies, rules, or systems.
Common Mistakes
1. Using 实行 for very small, everyday actions that don't involve a formal plan or policy. 2.

Tips
Think 'Put into Practice'
When you see 实行, think about putting something into practice. It's about making something happen.

Word Origin
The character 实 (shí) means 'real' or 'true', and 行 (xíng) means 'to go', 'to walk', or 'to do'. Together, 实行 literally means 'to do what is real' or 'to put into practice', emphasizing the transition from idea to reality.
