Definition
声名远播 is a four-character set phrase meaning 'one's reputation spreads far and wide'. The structure is subject-predicate: 声名 (fame/reputation) + 远播 (spreads afar). It is used as a predicate to describe someone or something (a person, an organization, a brand, etc.) that is widely known, often in a positive sense. Unlike the literal gloss 'fame far spread', the phrase carries a connotation of praise and reach—it emphasizes that the reputation has traveled across regions or even countries.
