The Chinese word 严格 (yàn gé) is composed of two characters: 严 (yán) and 格 (gé). The character 严 (yán) means "strict" or "severe", and it is often used to describe something that is demanding or difficult to achieve. The character 格 (gé) means "rule" or "standard", and it is often used to describe something that is fixed or unchanging. When these two characters are combined, they create the word 严格 (yàn gé), which means "strict" or "rigorous". This word is often used to describe something that is demanding or difficult to achieve, and it can also be used to describe something that is fixed or unchanging. For example, the phrase 严格的标准 (yàn gé de biāo zhǔn) means "strict standards", and the phrase 严格的纪律 (yàn gé de jì lǜ) means "strict discipline".
