How it's used

Focuses on the active process of passing down intangible values, skills, or traditions rather than just physical property. It carries a sense of responsibility and continuity, often used in contexts involving cultural identity or professional expertise. Unlike the more general term 留低, which simply means to leave something behind, this implies a deliberate act of handing over a legacy.

Common mistake

Learners often confuse this with 繼承, which is more commonly used for inheriting physical assets, money, or titles. While 傳承 is about the transmission of culture or knowledge, 繼承 is the legal or formal act of taking over an estate or position.
