Definition
隆重 (lóngzhòng) describes a grand and solemn event, such as a ceremony or celebration — it always focuses on the occasion itself. This sets it apart from 庄严 (solemn dignity of a place or person) and 郑重 (earnest seriousness of an action or statement), which describe qualities of things other than the event.
