How it is used
- To deeply revere / hold in high esteem - 我们对英雄充满崇敬 (wǒmen duì yīngxióng chōngmǎn chóngjìng) we are full of reverence for heroes.
- Directed at people worthy of respect (英雄、师长、先烈) and their qualities; carries warmth and moral admiration.
- Stronger and more solemn than plain 尊敬 (zūnjìng, respect); 崇敬 approaches veneration but, unlike 崇拜, stays dignified rather than idolizing.
