    This function appends backward part to main_program.

    A complete neural network training is made up of forward and backward
    propagation. However, when we configure a network, we only need to
    specify its forward part. This function uses the chain rule to automatically
    generate the backward part according to the forward part.

    In most cases, users do not need to invoke this function manually.
    It will be automatically invoked by the optimizer's `minimize` function.

    Parameters:
        loss(Tensor): The loss Tensor of the network.
        parameter_list(list[Tensor|str]|tuple[Tensor|str], optional): List/Tuple of Parameters or Parameter.names
                                           that need to be updated by optimizers.
                                           If it is None, all parameters
                                           will be updated.
                                           Default: None.
        no_grad_set(set[Tensor|str], optional): Set of Tensors or Tensor.names in the :ref:`api_guide_Block_en` 0 whose gradients
                               should be ignored. All Tensors with
                               `stop_gradient=True` from all blocks will
                               be automatically added into this set.
                               If this parameter is not None, the Tensors or Tensor.names in this set will be added to the default set.
                               Default: None.
        callbacks(list[callable object]|tuple[callable object], optional): List/Tuple of callback functions.
                                               The callbacks are used for
                                               doing some custom jobs during
                                               backward part building. All
                                               callable objects in it will
                                               be invoked once each time a
                                               new gradient operator is added
                                               into the program. The callable
                                               object must have two input
                                               parameters: ``block`` and ``context`` .
                                               The ``block`` is the :ref:`api_guide_Block_en` which
                                               the new gradient operator will
                                               be added to. The ``context`` is a
                                               map, whose keys are gradient
                                               Tensor names and values are
                                               corresponding original :ref:`api_guide_tensor_en` .
                                               In addition to this, the ``context``
                                               has another special key-value pair:
                                               the key is string ``__current_op_desc__``
                                               and the value is the op_desc of the
                                               gradient operator who has just
                                               triggered the callable object.
                                               Default: None.

    Returns:
        list of tuple ( :ref:`api_guide_tensor_en` , :ref:`api_guide_tensor_en` ): Pairs of parameter and its corresponding gradients.
        The key is the parameter and the value is gradient Tensor.

    Raises:
        AssertionError: If ``loss`` is not an instance of Tensor.
