Notices are one of the main types of administrative documents. The "Measures for Handling Official Documents of National Administrative Agencies" defines the function of notices as:

It is suitable for announcing matters that relevant parties in society should abide by or make known.

This style of writing is not announced in the official documents of the party agencies.

Announcements and announcements have some similarities and some differences.

The similarity is that they are both informative and public, that is to say, the content is informative and the scope of release is open to the whole society.

To avoid conceptual confusion and stylistic misuse between the two, the key is to distinguish the differences between the two. These differences can be roughly summarized in the following four aspects: The importance of content is different.

Announcements are used to announce important matters and legal matters, mostly involving national events or administrative matters at the provincial or municipal level, or procedures that must be followed to fulfill legal provisions. Small local matters and non-statutory matters cannot be announced in the form of announcements.

Announcements are used to publish matters that need to be followed or made known within a certain range. The matters involved are generally not as important as announcements.

?The restrictions on issuing agencies are quite different.

Announcements are a high-level style of writing. Only when they involve major overall matters or legal matters, they can be issued by high-level administrative departments. This has been explained before when introducing the characteristics of announcements.

Announcements are a style that can be used by both high-level agencies and grassroots units. Not only administrative agencies can make and issue them, but social groups, enterprises and institutions can also make and issue them within their scope of authority. Release scope varies.

Announcements are a type of language used to announce important matters and statutory matters at home and abroad. Its release scope is relatively large, facing the whole country, and sometimes the whole world. It is shown all over the world and is known to all, the more people accept it. The better.

Although notices are also issued to the society, they are mostly limited to a specific community, and the content is often directed at a specific group of people, requiring a specific type of people in this community to abide by or make known . Therefore, the definition of the notice specifically emphasizes "announcement within a certain range."

?The publishing method is different.

Most announcements are published in newspapers and periodicals. They are generally not issued in the form of red-headed documents, nor can they be printed and posted publicly in the form of notices.

The notice can be published in the news media, issued in the form of a red-headed document, or posted publicly.
