What is the difference between 齡 and 歲
I have learned 2 paragraphs that includes these two words : 齡 and 岁. I wonder if they both mean "age", what's the difference between them? 岁 is a more common word, isn't it?
香九"龄", 能温席，
孝于亲，所当执。
融四"岁"，能让梨，
弟于长，宜先知。

谢谢你们. n_n

Answer

龄从齿，意思来源于齿。齿可以判断一个人的年龄，故与年龄，年限有关。
岁是一个与时间长度有关的字，本意是木星，但它有年的意思。
在日常生活中，表年龄时岁较龄常用。龄一般也只出现在年龄，工龄等少数词中。
但文言文另论。

Answer

Yes, they both mean "age". Commonly speaking, when you fill in the forms, you can see "年龄" instead of "年岁"; but when people ask you how old are you, they will ask "多大岁数了？" instead of  “多大年龄了?"

Answer

香九“龄”，融四“岁”in that paragraphS ."龄”=“岁”
but we cann't use four“龄”，we always use 4“岁” in life.
“龄” always use with “年龄” .it is a noun .
