The Chinese word 北部 (běibù) for "north" is composed of two characters: 北 (běi) and 部 (bù). The character 北 originally meant "back" or "behind", and was used to refer to the direction opposite to the sun. The character 部 originally meant "part" or "section", and was used to refer to a region or area. When combined, the two characters 北部 literally mean "the back part" or "the northern region". This term is used to refer to the northern part of a country or region, such as the northern part of China.
