Mnemonic
庄 zhuāng "solemn" + 重 zhòng "weighty": weighty and solemn, i.e. grave, dignified. Same as the Korean word jang-jung (莊重). It describes a person’s serious, decorous manner or conduct (举止庄重). Unlike 庄严 (used for atmosphere or scenery), 庄重 is used for people, the same 庄 with a different partner.
