MEANING OF 旧瓶装新酒
旧瓶装新酒
(舊瓶裝新酒)
lit. new wine in old bottles; fig. new concepts in an old framework / (loan idiom from Matthew 9:17, but fig. meaning is opposite)
The metaphor uses the old form to express the new content
比喻用旧的形式表现新的内容。语本《新约．马太福音》第九章。耶稣说"没有人把新酒装在旧皮袋里;若是这样﹐皮袋就裂开﹐酒漏出来﹐连皮袋也坏了。唯独把新酒装在新皮袋里﹐两样就都保全了。""五四"新文学运动兴起以后﹐提倡白话文学的人认为文言和旧形式不能表现新内容﹐故常以"旧瓶装新酒"作比喻。亦省作"旧瓶新酒"。
