-====== fùxīng: 复兴 - Rejuvenation, Revival, Renaissance ====== +
-===== Quick Summary ===== +
-  * **Keywords:** fuxing, 复兴, Chinese rejuvenation, revival in Chinese, renaissance in Chinese, fuxing meaning, what does fuxing mean, national rejuvenation, 中华民族伟大复兴, Fuxing Hao train +
-  * **Summary:** "复兴 (fùxīng)" is a powerful Chinese term meaning "rejuvenation," "revival," or "renaissance." Far more than a simple recovery, it describes a grand return to a former state of glory, strength, and prosperity, often on a national or cultural scale. In modern China, it is most famously used in the political vision of the "Great Rejuvenation of the Chinese Nation" (中华民族伟大复兴), framing the country's rapid development as a historic restoration of its global prominence. Understanding fùxīng is key to understanding modern China's national identity and ambitions. +
-===== Core Meaning ===== +
-  * **Pinyin (with tone marks):** fùxīng +
-  * **Part of Speech:** Verb, Noun +
-  * **HSK Level:** HSK 6 +
-  * **Concise Definition:** To bring about a revival or rejuvenation; to restore to a former state of glory. +
-  * **In a Nutshell:** Think of "fùxīng" not just as "getting better," but as a glorious comeback. It implies that something—a nation, a culture, an industry—was once great, went through a period of decline, and is now returning to its former, or even greater, splendor. The word carries a heavy sense of history, destiny, and large-scale ambition. +
-===== Character Breakdown ===== +
-  * **复 (fù):** This character means "again," "to return," or "to repeat." It's the same "fù" found in words like `恢复 (huīfù)` (to recover) and `重复 (chóngfù)` (to repeat). It points to a return to a previous state. +
-  * **兴 (xīng):** This character means "to flourish," "to prosper," or "to rise." It's the "xīng" in `高兴 (gāoxìng)` (happy, literally "high spirits") and `兴盛 (xīngshèng)` (prosperous). It signifies vitality and upward momentum. +
-  * **Together,** 复 (again) + 兴 (flourish) literally means "to flourish again." This combination perfectly captures the idea of a revival—not just coming back, but coming back with strength and prosperity. +
-===== Cultural Context and Significance ===== +
-The most important context for **复兴 (fùxīng)** in the 21st century is political. The phrase **中华民族伟大复兴 (zhōnghuá mínzú wěidà fùxīng)**, or the "Great Rejuvenation of the Chinese Nation," is the central guiding principle of China's national strategy. +
-This concept frames China's modern rise not as a new phenomenon, but as a destined return to its historical position as a leading global civilization. It is positioned as the ultimate goal after overcoming the "Century of Humiliation" (百年国耻, bǎinián guóchǐ), a period from the mid-19th to mid-20th century when China was subjugated by foreign powers. +
-  *   **Comparison to a Western Concept:** You can compare **fùxīng** to the European "Renaissance," but with a key difference. The Renaissance was a "rebirth" of classical art and philosophy that sparked new ways of thinking. The Chinese **fùxīng** is less about a philosophical rebirth and more about the restoration of **comprehensive national power**: economic, technological, cultural, and political. It's a holistic revival of a nation's status and confidence on the world stage. It is fundamentally tied to the collective national identity and destiny. +
-===== Practical Usage in Modern China ===== +
-While its most prominent use is political, **fùxīng** is also used in other large-scale contexts. It is a formal and powerful word. +
-  *   **Political and National:** This is the most common usage. It appears constantly in official government documents, news broadcasts, and speeches to describe the nation's goals. A tangible example is the "**复兴号 (Fùxīng Hào)**," China's newest generation of high-speed bullet trains, which are a symbol of this national rejuvenation. +
-  *   **Cultural Revival (文化复兴, wénhuà fùxīng):** The term is used to describe a renewed interest in traditional Chinese culture, such as the growing popularity of Hanfu (traditional clothing), Confucian thought, and classic literature as a way to build cultural confidence. +
-  *   **Economic Revival (经济复兴, jīngjì fùxīng):** It can be used to describe the revival of a city, region, or entire industry after a period of decline. For example, discussing the "revival of the old industrial base in the Northeast." +

-===== Nuances and Common Mistakes ===== +
-  * **Mistake: Using `复兴` for small, personal things.** +
-    * A common mistake for learners is to use `复兴` for everyday recovery. It's too grand for that. +
-    * **Incorrect:** 我今天休息了一下,精神**复兴**了。(Wǒ jīntiān xiūxí le yīxià, jīngshén **fùxīng** le.) - I rested a bit today and my energy revived. +
-    * **Correct:** 我今天休息了一下,精神**恢复**了。(Wǒ jīntiān xiūxí le yīxià, jīngshén **huīfù** le.) +
-    * **Reason:** `恢复 (huīfù)` means to recover or restore and is used for health, energy, data, or order. `复兴 (fùxīng)` is reserved for things of major scale and historical significance, like a nation, a culture, or a large industry. You **recover** (`恢复`) your health, but you **revive** (`复兴`) a nation. +
-  * **False Friend: "Revival"** +
-    * While "revival" is a good translation, the English word can be used for much smaller things, like a "fashion revival" of 80s clothing or a "revival" of a cancelled TV show. In Chinese, using `复兴` for these would sound overly dramatic and strange. The core connotation of `复兴` is almost always tied to something of great historical or societal importance. +
