How it's used
Focus on the physical trace left behind rather than the act of bleeding itself. It is frequently used in crime or accident contexts to describe evidence left on surfaces. When describing the extent of bloodstains, speakers often use the idiom 血跡斑斑 to emphasize that there are many spots or a large area covered.
