1. **And / As well as**:
- It is often used in formal or literary contexts to mean "and" or "as well as," similar to 和 (hé) or 及 (jí).
- Example: 开幕式暨欢迎晚宴 (kāimùshì jì huānyíng wǎnyàn) – "Opening ceremony **and** welcome banquet."
2. **To reach / Until**:
- It can mean "to reach" or "until," indicating a point in time or space.
- Example: 自古暨今 (zì gǔ jì jīn) – "From ancient times **until** now."
3. **Together with / In conjunction with**:
- It can imply something happening together or in conjunction with another event.
- Example: 会议暨展览 (huìyì jì zhǎnlǎn) – "Conference **in conjunction with** an exhibition."
In modern usage, "暨" is often seen in formal titles, events, or announcements to connect two related items or concepts.
