Definition
奖赏 (jiǎng shǎng) is a formal verb meaning 'to reward or award' — it emphasizes a prize or recognition given for achievement, often tangible. It is more formal and specific than 奖励 (jiǎng lì), which can also cover non-material rewards. Unlike 赏 (shǎng), which implies a superior bestowing a gift, 奖赏 focuses on merit-based recognition.
