The Chinese word 流传 (liúchuán) is composed of two characters: 流 (liú) and 传 (chuán). The character 流 originally meant "to flow" or "to circulate", and it is often used in the context of water or other fluids. The character 传 originally meant "to carry" or "to transmit", and it is often used in the context of information or goods. When these two characters are combined, they form the word 流传, which means "to circulate" or "to spread". This word is often used to describe the spread of information, ideas, or cultural practices over time or space. For example, we can say 这种文化在民间广为流传 (zhè zhǒng wénhuà zài mínjiān guǎng wéi liúchuán), which means "This culture is widely spread among the people".
