About
岁 (traditional: 歲) originally depicted a harvesting weapon, linking its meaning to the annual agricultural cycle and the passage of a full year. Its traditional form combines the walking component 步 with the phonetic component 戌 (the eleventh earthly branch). The simplified version places the mountain radical 山 above the evening component 夕. The character primarily signifies a year, the age of living beings, and the passage of time, serving as the standard unit for measuring a person's chronological age.
