Editor: "cautious" seems to be a bit off -- seems to be more like "serious; conscientious; earnest".
It rarely appears anywhere except when combined with 重 to make 鄭重 (serious; solemn).

A much less common compound using 鄭 is 雅鄭, where 鄭 has a very different sense.
But our definition of 雅鄭 ("ceremonial court music") is wrong; it actually means "proper music and lewd music", where 鄭 means "(of music) vulgar and lascivious like that of the state of Zheng (鄭)".

雅郑,汉语词语,读音yǎ zhèng,意思是正声和淫雅之声。雅,雅乐,宫廷音乐;郑,郑声,郑地音乐(儒家认为“淫雅之音”)。
