• 한자 분석: 贺 = 加 + 贝 (add gifts/congratulations); 信 = 亻(person) + 言 (speech) — letter/trust/message

뜻

축하 서신(공식); 축하 편지

Similar in register to 贺电 but typically longer and more substantive in content. 贺信 is a staple of official Chinese communication, sent by party organisations, government bodies, institutions, and senior leaders to mark milestones such as anniversaries, conventions, and notable achievements. The genre follows well-established conventions of structure and language, and is prominently featured in official media coverage of important events.
