How to use 率领
率领 is a formal verb used when someone leads a team, army, or delegation, and it usually takes the group as its object. It often appears in news and written Chinese. Example: 他率领代表团访问了北京。(Tā shuàilǐng dàibiǎotuán fǎngwènle Běijīng.) He led the delegation on a visit to Beijing.
率 (shuài) means to lead or command, and 领 (lǐng) means to lead, like the collar 领 that the rest of a shirt hangs from. Put them together and you get one person at the front, leading a whole group.
Common mistake: Learners often read 率 as lǜ here because they know it from 效率 (xiàolǜ). In 率领 and 率先 it is read shuài. The lǜ reading means a rate or ratio.
