头领

头领 (tóu lǐng) is a noun meaning 'leader' or 'chief,' typically referring to someone who leads a group, organization, or movement. It often implies authority and guidance, and is used in both formal and informal contexts.

The character 头 (tóu) means 'head' or 'front,' while 领 (lǐng) means 'to lead' or 'to guide.' Together, they form a compound that literally translates to 'head leader,' emphasizing the role of someone at the forefront of a group or cause.

头领 is commonly used in historical, political, or organizational contexts. In modern Chinese, it may also refer to a person in charge of a team or department. It is more formal than terms like 领导 (lǐngdǎo), which can mean 'leader' in a broader sense, including managers or officials.
