日新(rìxīn)

天天更新。努力使自身不斷更新，使民眾、社會、國家不斷更新，持續進步、完善，始終呈現新的氣象。它是貫穿在“修齊治平”各層面的一種自強不息、不斷革新進取的精神。

Constant Renewal

This term refers to an ongoing process of self-renewal, which also brings new life to the people, society, and the nation. This process features continuous progress and improvement. It represents a tenacious and innovative spirit that permeates all levels of “self-cultivation, family regulation, state governance, bringing peace to all under heaven.”

【引例】

湯之盤銘曰：“茍日新，日日新，又日新。”《康誥》曰：“作新民。”《詩》曰：“周雖舊邦，其命維新。”是故君子無所不用其極。(《禮記·大學》)

“If we can improve ourselves in one day, we should do so every day, and keep building on improvement,” reads the inscription on the bathtub of Tang, founder of the Shang Dynasty. “People should be encouraged to discard the old and embrace the new, give up evil ideas, and live up to high moral standards,” says The Book of History. “Though it was an ancient state, Zhou saw its future lying in continuously renewing itself,” comments The Book of Songs. Therefore, junzi (men of virtue) should strive to excel themselves in all aspects and at all times. (The Book of Rites)
