About

The word "重申" is a compound verb formed by combining two characters: "重" (chóng), meaning "again" or "anew," and "申" (shēn), meaning "to state," "to declare," or "to explain." Together, they create a single lexical unit where "重" acts as an adverbial modifier intensifying the action of "申," resulting in the meaning "to state again" or "to reiterate." This formation follows a common grammatical pattern in Chinese where a verb ("申") is preceded by an adverbial element ("重") to specify the manner of the action, succinctly conveying the concept of formally restating a position or principle for emphasis or clarity.
