सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
The phrase reflects a blend of Buddhist and Taoist influences regarding the flow of time and non-attachment. It became a staple in Mandopop lyrics and TV dramas to signal the end of a romantic conflict or a period of hardship. In modern urban China, it's a key phrase for 'emotional management' in high-stress environments.
Add '都' for emphasis
If you say '都已经过去了' (dōu yǐ jīng guò qù le), it sounds more emphatic, like 'It's ALL in the past now.'
Don't be too cold
If someone is genuinely grieving, saying this too fast can sound like you don't care. Pair it with a hug or a kind word.

What It Means
This phrase is your ultimate 'reset' button. It literally means something has already passed through the timeline of your life. It is simple, direct, and incredibly common in daily conversation. When you say 已经过去了, you are closing a chapter. You are telling the world that whatever happened is no longer relevant to the present moment.
How To Use It
You use it just like 'It's over' or 'Forget about it.' It works as a standalone sentence. You can also add it after a specific event. For example, 'The exam 已经过去了.' It is very flexible. It doesn't need complex grammar. Just drop it when you want to stop talking about a past event. It sounds natural and decisive.
When To Use It
Use it when a friend is apologizing for being late. Use it after a stressful work meeting ends. It is great for comforting someone who made a mistake. If you are texting a friend about an old argument, this phrase is perfect. It shows you are not holding a grudge. It is a very 'zen' way to handle life's little hiccups.
When NOT To Use It
Don't use it for things that are still happening. If your boss is currently yelling at you, don't say this. It might sound like you are ignoring the problem. Also, avoid using it for very tragic events too early. If someone just lost their job an hour ago, it might feel dismissive. Timing is everything with this phrase. Let the dust settle first.
Cultural Background
Chinese culture often emphasizes 'letting go' to maintain harmony. There is a famous saying about not looking back at the past. This phrase reflects that philosophy. It is about emotional efficiency. Why waste energy on what you cannot change? It is a very pragmatic way of looking at time. It helps maintain 'face' by ending awkward situations quickly.
Common Variations
You might hear 都过去了 (dōu guò qù le). This means 'It's ALL past.' It adds a bit more emphasis. Another one is 让它过去吧 (ràng tā guò qù ba). This means 'Let it go.' It is more of a suggestion than a statement of fact. Both are very common in movies and songs. They all share the same spirit of moving forward.
