How it came to be
The full form is two footprints one after the other, with a pole weapon through them. A year is steps taken and a harvest cut: the blade is the reaping that marks the turn.
用法
- The unit for age - 三岁 (sān suì) three years old, 你几岁? (nǐ jǐ suì) how old are you? (to a child).
- Not for spans of time: 'three years (long)' is 三年 (sān nián), never 三岁.
