Definition
批文 is a formal written document issued by a higher authority, typically containing comments, approval, or a decision on a subordinate's report or application. It's commonly used in government, business, and bureaucratic contexts in Mainland China. The word narrows the general sense of 'written comments' to the specific genre of official approvals or replies.
