How it's used

Focuses on the movement of information or traditions across time or space rather than physical objects. It implies a sense of history or widespread reach, making it sound more formal than simply saying 傳開. It is frequently used when discussing legends, myths, or historical accounts that have survived through generations.

Common mistake

Avoid using this for physical items or people moving from place to place, as it is strictly reserved for abstract concepts like news, rumors, or cultural heritage. For physical movement, use 傳遞 or 傳送 instead.
