「有點年齡感、滄桑感」 https://www.beauty321.com/post/18104
--------------------------------------

Editor: I don't think 滄桑 means world-weary in your example. 滄桑 means "vicissitudes" and 滄桑感 (as in your example) means "a sense of having been through the vicissitudes of life".

You can go through the ups and downs of life and come through it all with a positive outlook, or you can become world-weary (i.e. with a negative or jaded attitude), but the word 滄桑感 itself doesn't tell you anything about one's attitude to the world. It just tells you there is a sense of having been through a lot.

Here are a couple of examples. There is no connotation of world-weariness in them.

帶著江湖人滄桑感的歌喉。

喜歡老房子「滄桑感與歲月刻痕」的他,
He has a fondness for old buildings because “you can sense they have been through good times and bad, and they bear the marks and scars of time.”
