About
The phrase 有史以来 is formed by conceptually assembling three core ideas: 有 ("to have/exist"), 史 ("history", specifically recorded history or annals), and 以来 ("from [a point] until now"). It literally constructs the idea of "from the point that recorded history has existed until the present", creating a bridge from the concrete beginning of historical records to the abstract, all-encompassing sense of "throughout all of time" or "since the dawn of history".
