Tips

usage
Two distinct senses share the metaphor of 'lined up at the same head/edge'. (1) Social policy: 齐头式平等 (qítóushì píngděng) is criticized as crude egalitarianism that ignores individual differences. (2) Typography: contrasts with 首行缩进 (shǒuháng suōjìn, first-line indent), the traditional Chinese book style.
