How it's used
Focuses on the restoration of vitality or prosperity to something that has declined or faded away. It is often used in formal contexts regarding culture, economy, or industries rather than personal health or casual activities. While it implies a return to a former state of strength, it suggests a deliberate effort or movement to make that happen.
Examples
This old shop wants to revive traditional craftsmanship.
How are they going to rejuvenate this old district?

Common mistake
Avoid using this for personal recovery from illness, where 康復 is the standard term. Using 復興 for a person sounds like you are describing a historical figure being brought back to power.
