Han Yu advocated that learning from the past should be based on inheritance and innovation, and insisted that "the words must come out of their own", meaning that they should not use the words and phrases readily available to the ancients, but try to use their own language to express their own views;

"Stereotypes must be removed" means that old words must be removed; it means that when writing, we should exclude the old things and try to create and innovate.
