Definition
纲领 (gāng lǐng) means 'program, guiding principle' — a formal set of principles or a plan of action, often for a political party or organization. It differs from 大纲 (dà gāng 'outline') and 纲要 (gāng yào 'outline, essential points'), which are summaries of content (e.g., a course syllabus or document). 纲领 is about guiding principles, not just a structural outline.
