What do you mean by "showing the past and warning future generations" and "always praying for peace"

Moral: The past is clear, so future generations should pay attention and remain vigilant. Swear to remember forever and pray for world peace.

Origin: It comes from the inscription 160 carved on the tripod at the national public sacrifice ceremony of Nanjing Massacre.

For example, history should not be a burden of memory, but a rational enlightenment, "showing the past and reminding future generations" and "praying for eternal peace"!
