About

The word 往后 is formed by combining two characters: 往, which carries the core meaning of "moving toward" or "directed to", and 后, which means "behind" or "after". Conceptually, it visualizes a spatial orientation, facing and moving toward what is behind you, and through this physical metaphor, it extends to signify the temporal idea of "from now on" or "in the future", effectively pointing ahead in time by looking back in direction.
