About

The Chinese word "名声" is formed by combining the character "名", meaning name or reputation, with the character "声", meaning sound or voice; this juxtaposition creates a compound where "名" conveys the aspect of identity or renown, and "声" conveys the aspect of auditory dissemination, resulting in the overall meaning of reputation or fame as the spread and perception of one's name.
