How it's used
Carries a formal and solemn tone, often used to describe selfless contributions to a cause, society, or a higher purpose. While it implies giving, it focuses more on the spirit of commitment rather than the physical act of donating money or items. It is frequently paired with adjectives like 無私 to emphasize the lack of personal gain.
Examples
Her dedication to art is truly worthy of everyone's respect.
How much are you willing to sacrifice for this ideal?

Common mistake
Avoid using this for casual giving or small favors, as it sounds overly dramatic and heavy. For simple donations of money or goods, use 捐 instead.
