Definition
犒赏 means 'to reward with money or gifts', but it's specifically used in contexts where the reward is given by a superior (boss, military commander, government) to subordinates for hard work, service, or achievement — it carries a sense of generosity and recognition from above. It's more formal and weighty than 奖励, and is often used in military, corporate, or official settings.
