The fictional story is set in the historic Qing Dynasty in China, as evidenced by the props, hairstyles and clothing and the appearance of a telescope. The approximate date of the story is during the 43rd year of Emperor Qianlong's reign in 1778.

The title Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon derives from a Chinese saying that advises one to conceal one's strengths from others in order to preserve the element of surprise. It also references two of the characters Jen's Mandarin name, Jiao Lóng, means dragon, and Lo's name Xiao Hu means tiger.
