The difference between reforming the old and bringing forth the new

The difference between the two is the difference in meaning, the difference in degree and scope, the difference in usage occasions, and the philosophical connotation.

1. Difference in meaning: The idiom "reform and reform" pays more attention to comprehensive and thorough changes and updates. It usually refers to the fundamental abandonment of old systems, systems, concepts, etc., and then the establishment of a new system. It emphasizes essentially replacing old things and creating a new situation. Compared with the complete transformation of old things, weeding out the old and bringing out the new emphasizes transformation and improvement on the original basis, removing the outdated and useless parts (dross) of old things, retaining and carrying forward their beneficial and essence parts, and on this basis Innovation and development.

2. The difference between degree and scope: Reform has a deeper degree and may involve a wider scope. It is often used to describe large-scale reforms of deep-seated social, political, and economic structures. The degree of innovation is relatively mild and can be applied to a wider range of situations, including small to large-scale updates and developments in the fields of culture, art, science and technology.

3. Different usage occasions: "Reform the past and bring new ideas to the world" is more suitable to describe macro-level transformations such as political system reform and major social changes. Innovating through the old is more suitable for describing iterative updates or improvements and innovations in cultural traditions, scientific and technological achievements, etc.

4. Philosophical connotation: Reform and innovation embodies the overall negation of old things and the complete establishment of new things, with a strong meaning of breaking and reshaping. Innovating through the old contains the concept of critical inheritance, that is, innovating on the basis of inheriting fine traditions and paying more attention to continuity and evolution.
