Usage of 演
The character 演 primarily means "to perform" or "to act," especially in contexts related to theater, film, or music. It is commonly used to describe acting roles (演角色), performing in plays or concerts (演出), and sometimes singing or playing instruments (演唱, 演奏).
Common Collocations
- 演戏 (yǎnxì): to act in a play or drama
- 演出 (yǎnchū): to perform or put on a show
- 演唱 (yǎnchàng): to sing (in a performance)
- 演奏 (yǎnzòu): to play (a musical instrument)
Notes
When using 演, the focus is on the act of performing or portraying a role. It differs from 表演, which also means "to perform" but can emphasize the demonstration or display aspect more broadly. 演 is often used in formal or artistic contexts.
Avoid confusing 演 with 演变 (evolution/change) which uses the same character but in a different compound with a distinct meaning.
