About
The word 传统 (chuántǒng, "tradition") is formed through the conceptual combination of its two component characters. The first character, 传 (chuán), carries the core meaning of "to transmit", "to pass on", or "to hand down". The second character, 统 (tǒng), means "to unite", "to interconnect", or "a system". Therefore, the compound visually and semantically represents the idea of "that which is passed down through a lineage" or "a unifying system transmitted across generations", directly illustrating the continuity and interconnectedness inherent in tradition itself.
