Definition
复兴 (fù xīng) means to revive or rejuvenate something that has declined, such as a culture, country, or tradition — a broad, abstract revival. This contrasts with 复活 (fù huó), which refers to literal resurrection or something coming back to life, and with 振兴 (zhèn xīng), which focuses on invigorating development rather than restoring a former state.
