Which is more important, cultural inheritance or cultural innovation?

For traditional culture, we should "take its essence and discard its dross"

We should inherit from a critical point of view and treat the theories and viewpoints put forward by our ancestors objectively. We should not blindly imitate and worship them, but make use of them according to specific conditions. Tradition really contributes to education, so we should "take its essence and discard its dross". Innovation refers to the innovation of cultural connotation, form, system, means and technology on the basis of the original culture, thus injecting the spirit of the times into the inherent culture. Culture, as the sum of activities and achievements in transforming the objective world and the subjective world, includes four levels: knowledge culture, system culture, behavior culture and psychological culture. It can make culture develop endlessly, thus having a far-reaching impact on society. I think cultural innovation is more important than inheritance.
