Definition
蓬荜生辉 is a polite, humble idiom meaning 'your presence graces my humble home.' 蓬荜 (péng bì) refers to a humble dwelling made of weeds and brambles, and 生辉 (shēng huī) means 'to shine.' The phrase is used when welcoming a guest of high status or a respected person to your home or event, as a way to show honor and modesty. It is typically said by the host, not the guest.
