Character Breakdown

Usage and Meaning

The verb 实行 (shíxíng) means "to implement" or "to carry out" a policy, plan, system, or regulation. It emphasizes putting something into actual practice rather than just planning or discussing it.

Common Contexts

It is frequently used in formal or official contexts such as government policies, company regulations, or institutional rules. For example, governments might 实行 new laws, companies 实行 new work systems, and schools 实行 new exam rules.

Collocations and Patterns

  • 实行制度 (implement a system): common in institutional or organizational contexts.
  • 实行改革 (carry out reforms): used when referring to changes or reforms.

Nuances

Using 实行 implies that the action is official and has moved beyond planning to actual execution. It is more formal than words like (do) or 进行 (carry out) when referring to policies or systems.

Common Confusion

Do not confuse 实行 with 实施 (shíshī), which also means "to implement." 实施 often focuses more on the process or method, while 实行 emphasizes the act of putting something into effect. However, in many contexts, they can be interchangeable.
