Definition
辉煌 describes something brilliantly successful or magnificently illuminated — used for great achievements (成就辉煌) and bright lights (灯火辉煌). Compared to 灿烂 (brilliant, radiant), 辉煌 emphasizes grandeur and completeness of success; unlike 光荣 (honorable, glorious), 辉煌 focuses on outward brilliance rather than personal honor.
