"Sparse the source and flow" and "the past is the new" are ancient idioms in China, which have far-reaching significance.
1. Sparse the source and flow: This idiom comes from Mencius wholeheartedly: "Governing a big country can cook small and fresh. In order to harm the people, don't do whatever you want; Dispel what they hate and do what they want. " Sparse: reduce; Source: source; Dredging: dredging. Dredging the source and flow is to eliminate the disadvantages, cure the root cause, dredge the sources of politics, economy, society and other aspects, eliminate the accumulated disadvantages and smooth the road to development.
2. Keeping pace with the times: This idiom comes from Historical Records and Biography of Lisi: "Long Fu's ancient people are glorious, but those who help the present are chaotic." It means to praise the ancient times excessively and ignore the reality, which often leads to chaos. In contrast, "keeping pace with the times" means inheriting the wisdom and traditions of the ancients, not sticking to old and rigid forms and concepts, being good at innovation, making the past serve the present, forging ahead and promoting the development of the times.
Generally speaking, these two idioms contain the connotation of reform and innovation, express their dissatisfaction with the status quo and their desire to pursue a new life, advocate profound reflection on the problems and put forward positive solutions.
