宣誓

宣誓 means to take an oath, typically in a formal or official setting. It involves publicly declaring one's commitment to a cause, law, or promise, often with a sense of solemnity and responsibility.

The character 宣 (xuān) originally meant 'to announce' or 'to declare,' while 誓 (shì) means 'oath' or 'vow.' Together, they form a term that emphasizes the act of making a public declaration of commitment or allegiance.

宣誓 is commonly used in legal, political, and ceremonial contexts, such as when a new government official takes office or when someone swears to tell the truth in court. It reflects the cultural importance of honor, duty, and accountability in Chinese society.
