其后

其后 is an adverbial phrase meaning 'after that' or 'subsequently.' It is used to indicate a sequence of events, typically referring to what happened following a previous action or time period.

The character 其 (qí) originally meant 'his/her/its' but here functions as a pronoun meaning 'that' or 'the,' while 后 (hòu) means 'after' or 'behind.' Together, they form a temporal expression indicating a point in time following another event.

其后 is commonly used in both spoken and written Chinese to connect events in a chronological order. It is often found in historical texts, narratives, and everyday conversations to show the progression of time or actions.
