Definition
从古至今 is a set phrase meaning 'from ancient times to the present'. It is used to emphasize continuity or contrast between past and present, often appearing in historical or comparative contexts. The correct pinyin for the phrase is 'cóng gǔ zhì jīn', though the source erroneously lists 'cōng'. Note that the first character 从 is a preposition here, not the verb 'follow'.
