欣赏 (xīnshǎng) versus 赞赏 (zànshǎng):

欣赏 (xīnshǎng) focuses on personal enjoyment and aesthetic appreciation. It's commonly used for art, nature, skills, or someone's personality. It's more neutral and emotional, expressing personal taste.

E.g. 我们去公园欣赏风景吧。(Wǒmen qù gōngyuán xīnshǎng fēngjǐng ba.) Let’s go to the park to enjoy the scenery.

赞赏 (zànshǎng) focuses on recognizing and expressing approval or admiration. It's often used to praise achievements, behaviors, or contributions. It's more formal than 欣赏, carrying a sense of respect.

E.g. 他的勇敢精神值得赞赏。(Tā de yǒnggǎn jīngshén zhídé zànshǎng.) His courageous spirit is worthy of praise.
