How it's used
Carries a slightly formal or dramatic tone, often used in promises, vows, or significant life changes. While it functions as an adverb, it is frequently placed at the very beginning of a sentence to emphasize the shift in time. It sounds more literary than the common spoken alternative 由而家開始.
Examples
From now on, we need to live our lives well.
