About

The character "尊重" is formed conceptually by combining two meaningful components: "尊", which originally depicted a hand offering a ritual wine vessel, conveying notions of reverence and elevated status, and "重", which signifies weight, seriousness, and importance. Together, they create a composite idea where one mentally "elevates" someone or something and simultaneously regards them as "weighty" or substantial, resulting in the integrated meaning of treating with esteem, giving serious consideration to, and holding in high regard.
