Definition
歌唱 (gēchàng) means 'to sing' in a formal, often celebratory or patriotic context, typically praising a person or nation. It is more elevated than the everyday 唱 (chàng), and unlike 演唱 (yǎn chàng, to perform for an audience) or 合唱 (hé chàng, chorus), it emphasizes the act of singing as praise or tribute.
