Meaning and Usage
The verb 推行 (tuīxíng) means to promote or implement policies, systems, or methods widely. It often refers to official or organizational actions to put new rules or practices into effect.
Common Contexts
推行 is frequently used in formal contexts such as government policies, company regulations, or educational reforms. It implies a deliberate and organized effort to make something standard or common.
Collocations and Patterns
- 推行政策 (tuīxíng zhèngcè): to implement policies

- 推行改革 (tuīxíng gǎigé): to carry out reforms

Usage Notes
When using 推行, the focus is on the process of making something widely adopted or enforced. It differs from words like 实施 (shíshī), which also means to implement but can be more general or temporary. 推行 often suggests a broader, ongoing promotion or institutionalization.
Avoid confusing 推行 with 推动 (tuīdòng), which means to push forward or promote but does not necessarily imply formal implementation.
