location expression type

~ indicates that a regular match is performed, case sensitive
~* indicates that a regular match is performed, case insensitive
^~ indicates a normal character match. Use prefix matching. If the match is successful, no other locations are matched.
= Perform exact matching of normal characters. That is, an exact match.
@ "@" defines a named location when used when oriented internally, such as error_page, try_files

location priority description

The order of location in nginx and the location in the configuration is not very related. It has to do with the type of location expression. For expressions of the same type, the long string will be matched first.
Here's a breakdown by priority:
First priority: The equal sign type (=) has the highest priority. Once a match is successful, no more matches are looked.
Second priority: ^~ type expression. Once a match is successful, no more matches are looked.
Third priority: The priority of the regular expression type (~ ~*) is secondary. If there are multiple locations that can match, use the one with the longest regex.
Fourth priority: regular string match type. Match by prefix.

#顺序不等于优先级
(location =) > (location full path) > (location ^~ path) > (location ~,~* regular order) > (location partial start path) > (/)
