宣言

宣言 (xuān yán) means 'declaration' or 'statement,' typically referring to an official announcement or public assertion of a position, policy, or intention.

The character 宣 (xuān) originally meant 'to announce' or 'to make known,' while 言 (yán) means 'words' or 'speech.' Together, they form a term emphasizing a formal or public expression of intent or belief.

宣言 is commonly used in political, legal, and formal contexts. For example, a government may issue a declaration of independence, or a company might release a declaration of its values. It carries a sense of authority and public commitment, often used in official documents or speeches.
