How it's used
This term is primarily used in formal, geographical, or political contexts rather than in casual daily conversation. It carries a sense of remoteness and distance from the central, more developed parts of a region or country. When referring to a simple border crossing or the line between two places, words like 邊界 or 邊境 are much more common.
Examples
They live in the border area of the country, and life is very simple.
The border zone of this city is developing very slowly.

Common mistake
Do not use this word to describe the edge of a small object like a table or a piece of paper, as it is reserved for large-scale geographical or administrative boundaries.
