Definition
日新月异 describes things that change rapidly and for the better, making continuous progress (e.g., technology, cities). Unlike 与日俱增 (steady increase in quantity or degree) or 千变万化 (endless variety of changes, not necessarily progress), 日新月异 always carries a sense of positive development and renewal.
