Definition
慰藉 is a formal, literary noun meaning 'comfort' or 'solace' — the kind you get from words, art, nature, or spiritual support. It's more elevated than the everyday 安慰 (ānwèi) and is typically used in writing (novels, essays, speeches) rather than casual conversation. You'll see it in phrases like 心灵的慰藉 ('spiritual solace') or 获得慰藉 ('find comfort').
