呈送 (chéng sòng) is a formal, written verb meaning 'to deliver formally'—typically used for documents, reports, gifts, or petitions presented to a superior, official, or respected person. The first character 呈 (chéng) means 'to present respectfully' or 'to submit', carrying connotations of humility and protocol; the second character 送 (sòng) means 'to send' or 'to deliver'. Together, they emphasize both the act of transmission and the respectful, ceremonial manner in which it occurs.

This term is common in bureaucratic, governmental, academic, or traditional ceremonial contexts—such as submitting a proposal to a ministry, offering a gift to an elder during a festival, or forwarding a research report to a supervisor. It is rarely used in casual speech; everyday alternatives like 交给 (jiāo gěi, 'to hand over') or 寄给 (jì gěi, 'to mail to') are more appropriate for informal situations. The subject is often an individual acting on behalf of an organization or family, and the recipient is typically someone in a position of authority or seniority.
