What do you think is the difference between classic and traditional?

There is a big difference between the two. Tradition is a culture that has been passed down from generation to generation, and it covers a wide range of things that have been agreed upon and passed down for a long time, both good and bad. And classic is definitely positive and progressive and representative.

Classic refers to the exemplary, authoritative and enduring works of the ages, selected through history as the most valuable, the most representative of the essence of the industry, the most representative, the most perfect works.

For example, the classic songs of the fifties are the best of the era and best represent the songs of this era. There is a difference between a classic and a masterpiece, and a masterpiece refers only to the quality of the work, and does not need to have the other characteristics that a classic has. The best of the industry, or the best of a period, is representative of the nature and significance of the work.

Tradition, passed down from generation to generation, from the history of thought, culture, morals, customs, art, institutions and behavior. People's social behavior has an invisible influence and control. Tradition is a manifestation of the inheritance of historical development. In a class society, tradition has class and national character, positive tradition plays a role in promoting social development, and conservative and backward tradition plays a role in hindering social progress and change.
