接班

• 拼音: jiē bān
• 汉字拆解: 接 = 扌(hand) + 妾 — to receive, connect; 班 = 玨 (two pieces of jade) + 刂 — work shift, class

含义

To take over a shift; to succeed to a position. Assuming duties from a predecessor.

Originally referred to factory workers taking over shifts (班). Now broadly used for any succession, from inheriting a family business to political succession. The emphasis is on continuity — the new person carries on the work or legacy of the predecessor.
