Try checking each character in this post individually, and see if you can find the answer yourself. That's what I would do if I wanted to answer it

勸諭 generally means to persuade/educate? Am I right here?

I don't understand what 諭 means exactly. Also, what is the difference between 諭 and 喻? 比喻 means metaphor, which I fully understand.

> 古同“喻”，比方。

In modern Chinese language, 諭 and 喻 have different meanings

> [諭](https://cantoneseplus.com/character/7568):
> instruct; order. Example: 手諭 (written order/ instruction); 口諭(verbal order/ instruction)

> [喻](https://cantoneseplus.com/character/3301):
> (1) explain; make clear; (2) understand; comprehend; (3) draw an analogy; be compared to

* 勸 = **persuade**; **advise**
* 諭 = instruct --> explain --> **reasoning**
* [勸諭](https://cantoneseplus.com/word/14361) is a compound word, meaning "to **persuade** or **advice** with **reasons**"

勸 - persuade (with or without stating reasons)

勸諭 - persuade (also stating reasons)
