Definition
盛名 is a formal noun meaning 'great reputation' or 'prestige'. It is typically used with verbs like 享有 (to enjoy) or 拥有 (to possess), and often appears in literary or elevated contexts. The gloss 'great reputation' alone could lead learners to choose a more common but less precise word like 名声; 盛名 carries a sense of widespread and admirable fame.
