The Chinese word 传统 (chuán tǒng) for "tradition" is composed of two characters: 传 (chuán), meaning "to pass on" or "to transmit," and 统 (tǒng), meaning "to unite" or "to unify." Together, these characters convey the idea of something that is passed down from one generation to the next, uniting people and cultures over time. The word 传统 is often used in the context of cultural practices, customs, and beliefs that are passed down through generations, forming the foundation of a society's identity and heritage.
