海枯石烂

Phát âm: hǎi kū shí làn Nghĩa đen: Seas dry, stones rot

Nguồn gốc & Cách sử dụng

This idiom describes seas (海) drying up (枯) and stones (石) rotting (烂). These are impossibilities that would take eternity - seas don't dry and stones don't rot. The phrase represents eternal commitment. Modern usage in romantic contexts expresses undying love, promises that will last until the impossible happens - essentially forever.
