How to use 出版

出版 is used for books, magazines, music albums and other works being released to the public. It often appears with 社 (shè) in 出版社 (chūbǎnshè), a publishing house. Example: 这本书去年出版了。(Zhè běn shū qùnián chūbǎn le.) This book was published last year.

出 (chū) means to go out, and 版 (bǎn) means a printing block or edition. When a book's printed edition goes out into the world, it is published.

Common mistake: Learners often write 版 (bǎn) as 板 (bǎn, board), since they sound the same. 版 has the 片 component for printing plates, while 板 has the wood radical 木. Also keep the tones: chū is first tone and bǎn is third tone.
