Definition
传唱 means a song or story gets widely sung and passed down through generations. The focus is on the oral tradition of spreading — it's different from 传诵 (recited) or 传播 (broadcast). You usually use it with folk songs, ballads, or famous tales: 这首歌被传唱至今 ('this song has been sung and passed down to this day'). The subject of 传唱 is the song itself, not the singer.
