Meaning of inherited

Chengzhuan is a Chinese word that means to carry on a tradition, culture, or skill, etc.

Chengchuan emphasizes the continuation and transmission of a tradition, culture or skill. It involves the process of receiving, learning and passing on. In this process, future generations pass on the wisdom and experience of their predecessors through study and practice, and develop and innovate, thus ensuring that such traditions continue to exist and develop.

The transmission can involve a number of fields, such as literature, art, handicrafts, music, martial arts and so on. A typical example is Peking Opera, a national intangible cultural heritage. Peking Opera is one of the representatives of traditional opera art, carrying rich historical and cultural connotations. In the inheritance of Peking Opera, young performers need to absorb the experience and artistic essence of their predecessors by learning and imitating their acting style, singing voice and stage techniques, while at the same time injecting their own understanding and innovation, so that Peking Opera can continue to develop in contemporary times.

Another example is the transmission of traditional handicraft skills. An example is silk weaving, a traditional Chinese weaving technique. In the process of passing on silk weaving, generations of traditional craft masters have passed on the techniques and experience of silk weaving to their descendants through oral transmission. Younger master weavers need to spend a lot of time and energy to learn and master the skill before they can continue and incorporate modern design concepts and market demands.
