Character Breakdown

Meaning and Usage

The adverb 一律 (yīlǜ) means "uniformly" or "all the same." It emphasizes that a rule, treatment, or condition applies equally to all members of a group without exception or differentiation.

Common Contexts

It is often used in formal or official contexts such as laws, company policies, school rules, or pricing where uniformity is stressed. For example, 一律平等 (treat equally without exception) or 一律打折 (uniform discount).

Collocations and Patterns

These collocations highlight the sense of strict, consistent application.

Nuances

Using 一律 implies no room for exceptions or special cases, which can sound strict or formal. It differs from words like (dōu) or 全部 (quánbù) which simply mean "all" but do not emphasize uniformity or equality as strongly.

Common Confusion

Avoid confusing 一律 with 一直 (yīzhí, "continuously") or 一般 (yìbān, "generally"), which have different meanings. 一律 stresses sameness or uniformity across a group or category.
