Tips

register

Classical-flavored — appears in 二十四史 (Twenty-Four Histories / dynastic biographies) and other historical writing. In contemporary usage 再 'again' + 迁 'transfer/promote' is mostly read literally rather than as a fixed compound; for modern career promotions use 升职 (shēngzhí) or 再次提拔 (zàicì tíbá).
