It’s common to use this to express love as well - love is unshakable
- wenyuanyu 4y agoThis is indeed a commonly used chengyu with similar meaning. But I perceive "初志" as having a connotation of "original" or "initial" intentions, whereas "矢志" simply implies determined wishes or promises without emphasizing the "initial" aspect. While I'm not an expert in Japanese, my understanding is based on the Chinese perspective, and the actual meaning of "初志" in Japanese might differ.
- whoevercares 4y agoYeah it’s subtle - a better one is “始终不渝” which the “intention”(志）is dropped but implied
