Definition
边疆 (biān jiāng) refers to a large, remote border region or frontier area, often with strategic importance. Unlike 边境 (biān jìng, the border strip) or 边界 (biān jiè, the boundary line), 边疆 emphasizes the vast territory within a country's periphery. It is a formal term common in historical, geopolitical, and patriotic contexts.
