倔强

• ピンイン: jué jiàng
• 漢字の分解: 倔 = 亻 (person) + 屈 (to bend, phonetic) — stubborn (one who won't bend); 强 = 弓 (bow) + 虽 (phonetic) — strong

意味

負けず嫌いで頑固だ（屈しない）

Describes someone who refuses to yield or change their position, but often with a positive undertone of resolve and backbone rather than mere stubbornness. Unlike 固执 (which is more negative), 倔强 can imply admirable persistence in the face of adversity. Often used to describe children, young people, or anyone showing spirited resistance.

例文

1. 她骨子里有股倔强劲儿，认准的事情九头牛都拉不回来。
2. 那个倔强的小女孩摔倒了好几次，硬是不肯让大人扶。
3. 他的倔强在年轻时被视为缺点，后来却成了他成功的关键。
