What 赉 means
To bestow, grant, or reward someone.
Early attestations place it in Zhou-era classics: the Classic of Poetry, an early collection of Chinese verse, uses it for a ritual bestowal; the Book of Documents preserves a royal grant formula.
Is 赉 the same as 賚?
Yes. 赉 is the simplified form corresponding to traditional 賚.
Both forms represent the same word and meaning. Which one you need depends on whether the text or input method uses simplified or traditional Chinese characters.
Literary and formal; it fits classical, historical, or ceremonial wording.
Alone, it may leave a reader unsure what is being bestowed.
