Definition
祝辞 is a formal noun for a speech or message delivered at a ceremony, celebration, or important occasion — like a wedding toast, a New Year's address, or a graduation speech. It's more literary and ceremonial than the everyday word 讲话 ('speech'), and you'll often see it in written invitations or formal event programs.
