Étymologie et composants

The Chinese word 下边 (xiàbian) is composed of two characters: 下 (xià), meaning "below" or "down", and 边 (biān), meaning "side" or "edge". Together, these characters form a compound word that literally means "the lower side" or "the bottom". In a broader sense, 下边 can be used to refer to the lower part of something, such as the lower part of a page or the lower part of a body. It can also be used to refer to the area below something, such as the area below a table or the area below a mountain. In addition to its literal meanings, 下边 can also be used in a figurative sense to refer to the following or the next part of something, such as the following paragraph or the next chapter.
