•一律 applies to uniform regulations; 一概 usually pairs with negation (categorically not); 一向 denotes enduring past-to-present habits.
⚠️ Common Mistakes:
•Using 一向 for scope of applicable objects: incorrect, use 一律 instead.
•Using 一概 in a neutral affirmative statement: 一概 typically combines with negative actions.
•Confusing 一向 with 一直: 一直 stresses continuous progression, whereas 一向 stresses long-standing character or custom.
