Definition
重头 is an attributive adjective meaning 'of vital importance' or 'of great value', commonly used in the fixed expression 重头戏 (highlight/important part of a show) and with nouns like 任务 (task) or 项目 (project). Note that the given pinyin is chóng, but the standard pronunciation for this sense is zhòng (as in 重要). The same characters can also be read as chóngtóu (to start over), which is a different word entirely. This row should be corrected to zhòngtóu for consistency with the gloss.
