Definition
崇拜 means to worship or adore, implying deep admiration often mixed with reverence or even idolization. It is stronger than 崇敬 (revere, venerate), which is more formal and respectful without the emotional intensity of worship. 爱慕 (admire, adore) is more personal and can relate to romantic attraction or appearance.
