Definition
播撒 means 'to sow' or 'to scatter', used both literally for seeds and figuratively for abstract things like ideas or love. It's a formal verb, more common in written Chinese and agricultural contexts than in everyday conversation. Unlike 种 (zhòng, 'to plant'), 播撒 emphasizes the act of spreading or scattering over a wide area.
