About

The word "崇拜" is formed from the characters "崇" and "拜". "崇" combines "山" (mountain) and "宗" (ancestor), conveying the idea of loftiness or reverence, while "拜" originates from a pictographic representation of hands clasped in a gesture of worship. Their combination yields the meaning of worshipping or adoring something held in high esteem.
