About

The word 奖励 is formed by combining two characters, 奖 and 励, each contributing a core aspect of the overall concept. 奖 (jiǎng) carries the primary meaning of a prize, award, or formal recognition. 励 (lì) introduces the idea of encouragement, motivation, or urging someone to strive forward. Therefore, the compound naturally fuses these ideas into a single concept: a reward or incentive (奖) that is specifically given to encourage or motivate future effort or good conduct (励).
