Definition

打头阵

Literally means:

spearhead the attack

Actually means:

ake the lead

It refers to the first battle that two troops fought in ancient times. Metaphorically, it means taking the lead in doing something. It implies that other actions are to be taken soon afterwards.

古代敌对双方列队打仗时,第一次交锋或对打比喻做某事时首先行动,起带头作用。隐含有后续行动的意思。
