灌输

• 拼音: guàn shū
• 汉字拆解: 灌 = 氵+ 雚 (pour); 输 = 车 + 俞 (transport by vehicle — convey)

含义

To instil; to indoctrinate; to pour knowledge or ideas into someone. Often implies a one-directional, top-down transmission of information without encouraging critical thinking.

Carries a slightly negative connotation in modern educational discourse, suggesting passive absorption rather than active learning. Common in critiques of rote education (填鸭式灌输) and political contexts. However, it can be used neutrally to mean 'impart' in some formal contexts.
