Hello everybody,
I have a noob doubt, if the hard fork of the BTC and the BCH was on Aug 1 of 2017, how is possible to see transaction in BCH currency before this date

?

I don't undertand nothing
Since BCH is forked from bitcoin, before the forking date they were sharing the same blockchain hence the same transactions.
Obviously, that blockchain is actually called bitcoin, but, with BCH trying to alter reality and lie newbies they are
the bitcoin, of course can easily pretend anything they want and write BCH wherever they want.
I would not be surprised the block explorer you're looking at would show the genesis block contain the famous "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks." and still lie it's BCH

My suggestion is to leave those delusional altcoiners and go for bitcoin.
