传统文化 (chuántǒng wénhuà) - use 国学 when specifically referring to the academic study of traditional Chinese scholarship, while 传统文化 encompasses a broader concept of traditional culture.
Common mistakes include confusing 国学 with other academic fields, such as modern studies that may not focus on traditional culture. The term is more formal, so it's often used in academic writing or discussions rather than casual conversation. Be cautious with tones, as improperly pronouncing guó (国) or xué (学) can lead to misunderstandings.
