The Chinese word 革新 (géxīn) means "innovation" or "reform". It is composed of two characters: 革 (gé), which means "leather" or "skin", and 新 (xīn), which means "new". The original meaning of 革新 was "to remove the old skin and replace it with a new one", which was used in ancient China to describe the process of making leather. Over time, the meaning of 革新 was extended to refer to any kind of change or reform, especially in the political or social sphere. Today, 革新 is a commonly used word in Chinese to describe the process of making changes or improvements to something.
