Together, they literally mean "background scenery" or "backdrop". In the context of language, 背景 is used to refer to the background information or context of a situation, event, or person. It can also be used to refer to someone's personal history or circumstances.The word 背景 has been used in Chinese for centuries, and its meaning has remained largely unchanged over time. However, its usage has evolved somewhat in recent years. In the past, 背景 was most commonly used in literary contexts, but it is now also used frequently in everyday speech and writing.背景 is a versatile word that can be used in a variety of contexts. It is an important word for HSK learners to know, as it is used frequently in both spoken and written Chinese.
