Tips
usage
Strictly upward: 呈 (chéng) carries the sense of 'presenting respectfully to one above'. Compare with 上报 (shàngbào, 'report upward', similar but less formal) and 汇报 (huìbào, 'to brief, summarize and report' — neutral direction).
register
Formal — bureaucratic, military, and business writing. Don't use 呈报 between peers or in casual speech.
