 }is shown as follows:
  
 1. The first time I saw the background-size, written like this, I didn"t find the relevant documentation TAT,. What does it mean to write like this? Since 
 2.linear-gradient (black,black) is black,black, then rounding equals no gradient, why can"t I achieve the same effect after I replace  linear-gradient (black,black)  with  black ?
