• 汉字拆解: 年 = originally a person carrying grain, one harvest cycle; 底 = 广 (shelter) + 氐 (low/base), meaning bottom or end

含义

End of the year; year-end. The final part of a calendar year.

Refers to roughly November-December of a year. Contrasts with 年初 (beginning of the year). Very common in work and business contexts where year-end is associated with reviews, bonuses, and deadlines. Also used in personal contexts for holiday planning around the end of the year.
