Definition
背上 (bèi shàng) functions as a position word (方位词) indicating the location on the back of a person or animal. It refers specifically to the surface of the back — the area between the shoulders and the lower back. Note that the pinyin in the source data (bēi) corresponds to the verb 'to carry on the back' (背 bēi), not the location sense; the correct pronunciation for this row should be bèi shàng.
