Definition
污蔑 (wū miè) means to slander or smear someone's reputation, usually by spreading false accusations. Compared to 诽谤 (fěi bàng), which is the formal/legal term for libel, 污蔑 is more general and used in everyday contexts for defamation. 毁 (huǐ) focuses on destroying someone's good name, often with a harsher connotation.
