The Chinese word 知名 (zhīmíng) is composed of two characters: 知 (zhī) and 名 (míng). The character 知 means "to know" or "to understand", while the character 名 means "name" or "reputation". Together, the two characters form the compound word 知名, which means "well-known" or "famous".The word 知名 is often used to describe people who are famous for their achievements or contributions in a particular field. For example, a famous scientist might be referred to as a 知名科学家 (zhīmíng kējùxià), while a famous actor might be referred to as a 知名演员 (zhīmíng yǎnyuán).The word 知名 can also be used to describe things that are well-known or famous. For example, a famous tourist destination might be referred to as a 知名旅游景点 (zhīmíng lǚyóu jǐngdiǎn), while a famous brand might be referred to as a 知名品牌 (zhīmíng pǐnpái).The word 知名 is a common word in Chinese and is used in a variety of contexts. It is a useful word to know for HSK learners who want to be able to talk about famous people and things in Chinese.
