Definition
阵地 (zhèn dì) refers to a military position or stronghold that is held or defended. Unlike 前线 (qián xiàn), which means the front line of battle, 阵地 emphasizes the specific location or base being held. Figuratively, it means a key position in a competitive field, similar to 堡垒 (bǎo lěi) but less concrete.
