How it's used
Refers specifically to rural areas where the primary economic activity is agriculture. While it is a standard term, Hong Kongers living in a highly urbanized environment often use it to describe mainland Chinese rural settings rather than local villages, which are more commonly referred to as 鄉下 or 村.
