The Chinese word 传说 (chuánshuō) is composed of two characters: 传 (chuán), meaning "to transmit" or "to pass on", and 说 (shuō), meaning "to speak" or "to tell". Together, these characters form the word "legend", which refers to a story or tale that has been passed down through generations, often by word of mouth. Legends are typically based on real events or people, but they may also contain elements of fantasy or exaggeration. They often serve to explain the origins of certain customs or beliefs, or to teach moral lessons. In Chinese culture, legends are an important part of folklore and oral tradition, and they continue to be told and retold to this day.
