To answer this question, I would like to look at three aspects: (1) the origin of this sentence, (2) the meaning of this sentence, and (3) the thinking triggered by this sentence: First, let’s talk about Let’s take a look at the origin of the phrase “Everything in the past is a prologue”.

Some people say that "everything in the past is a prologue!" It is a poem, but it is not. "What's past is prologue!" This sentence comes from Act 2, Scene 1 of the play "The Tempest" by the famous British playwright Shakespeare. The original text is "What's past is prologue".

By the way, let’s talk about the play "The Tempest". This play is a legendary play written by the British playwright William Shakespeare in his late period. The play tells the story of Prospero, Duke of Milan, who was usurped by his brother Antonio. He fled to a desert island with his infant daughter Miranda and relied on magic to become the owner of the island.

Later, he created a storm and brought the ships of the King of Naples, Prince Ferdinand and accompanying Antonio and others to the desert island. He also used magic to bring the prince and Milan together. Da's marriage. The ending is that Prospero regains his title, forgives his enemies, and returns home.

The mysterious fantasy, magnificent descriptions, vivid images, and poetic background in the play make the whole play full of poetry, peace and tranquility. The sentence "Everything in the past is a prologue!" The words are easy to understand. Secondly, let’s talk about the meaning of the sentence “Everything in the past is a prologue”.

"Everything in the past is a prologue." The general meaning of these two sentences is: everything in the past is just an introduction, and it is up to us to do the main text in the future.

The famous Chinese translator Mr. Zhu Shenghao once translated "What's past is prologue" as "Everything in the past is just an introduction." In the translation by the famous essayist Mr. Liang Shiqiu, this sentence is translated as "The past is only a prologue."

No matter how it is translated, we can generally understand it as: everything in the past is just a preface to our future ambitions, and better things are yet to come. The "prologue" is the words written at the beginning of the article, not the main text, nor is it an important part of the article. We can understand it this way: what has happened has become the past, and there is no need to indulge in it anymore. It is better to grasp the present and face the future.

Therefore, "Everything in the past is a prologue!" is a kind of understatement of the past. Third, ancient Chinese people also had a famous saying similar to "Everything in the past is a prologue!"

"The east corner has passed, and the mulberry trees are not late" is a famous saying in the "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng" by the poet Wang Bo of the Tang Dynasty. A famous saying. "Eastern corner" refers to the place where the sun comes from, indicating the early years. "Sangyu" refers to the sunset, indicating old age. The meaning of this sentence is: Although the early years have passed away, it is not too late to cherish the future years.

If you think carefully about Wang Bo's words, is it similar to Shakespeare's "Everything that passes is a prologue"?

Time flies, time is fleeting, and the passing time always passes by with the smoke and clouds. The dusty past, whether right or wrong, whether you want to remember or choose to forget, is a new beginning.

Yes, let’s start from now on. Even if every trekking footprint in the future is condensed with rich memories, we should put aside the heavy past and spread our wings with dreams in the sky where the rainbow hangs and pursue them today. Soaring in the vast field.

I hope my answer satisfies you.
