Zeppa Posted September 7, 2017 at 07:38 AM Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 at 07:38 AM According to my dictionary it means 'daily renewal/modernization; constant progress'. That's without the fourth character, but it probably makes no difference. Literally 'day new again day new'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted September 7, 2017 at 08:40 AM Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 at 08:40 AM It's a truncated quote from the Great Learning/大學 Here's Charles Muller's translation: 6. 湯之盤銘曰。「茍日新、日日新、又日新。」 6. The inscription of the bath of King Tang said, “If you renew yourself for one day, you can renew yourself daily, and continue to do so.” From here: http://www.acmuller.net/con-dao/greatlearning.html 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted September 7, 2017 at 08:55 AM Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 at 08:55 AM Thought I'd best start taking an interest in the language again now I'm back in Beijing! Really should have said the quote is from a commentary on the 大學 though. My standards as slack as ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
