Word usage

Note
"崇拜" is different from "崇敬". "崇拜" refers to special admiration, even to the level of superstition, with a heavy meaning. The object can be people, gods or things, and it is a neutral word; "崇敬" refers to special respect, whose object generally is people, which is a commendatory term.
