Definition
长盛不衰 is a four-character idiom describing something that remains prosperous, popular, or powerful over a very long period without decline. You can use it for traditions, institutions, brands, or even personal influence — anything that 'never fades' across generations. The literal meaning ('long flourishing not declining') maps directly onto the actual usage, but it's a fixed expression, not a free combination.
f.e.
to remain prosperous and unchallenged over a long periodlong-lasting success without decline
