Legend has it that Dream in Congkongpo Soup is made of the "flower on the other side" manzhu sand flower and the forgotten river water. A drop of raw tears, two drops of old tears, three drops of bitter tears, four cups of regret tears, five inches of lovesickness tears, six cups of illness tears and seven feet of parting tears are the eighth taste of Meng Po's heartbreaking tears. Meng Po's soup is made by eight tears, so it takes a lifetime to make a good soup.
After death, people have to go through the ecliptic, and reincarnation has to go through Naihe Bridge. On the Naihe Bridge, there was a kind old woman named "Meng Po", who had been cooking a pot of soup with "forgetting" as seasoning. Anyone who wants to be reborn must drink the soup cooked by Meng Po. After drinking this bowl of Meng Po Tang, everything in the past life will be completely forgotten. Therefore, people always don't remember what happened in their last lives.
The Origin of Mengpo Decoction
Meng Po Tang tastes sweet, bitter, pungent, sour and salty. It is a kind of tea soup in China ancient folklore, which can forget all troubles and memories, all love and hate. Legend has it that Meng Po made a magical soup in the underworld, so that ghosts who were reincarnated in Naihe Bridge can completely forget all the memories of their previous lives, and then reincarnate with peace of mind. On the one hand, people and ghosts are mixed with herbs collected from this world, on the other hand, people's tears are collected and boiled into soup.
Meng Po was born in the Western Han Dynasty. He studied Confucian books since childhood and began to recite Buddhist scriptures when he grew up. However, Buddhist scriptures were translated into Chinese only in the Eastern Han Dynasty. When she was alive, she never recalled the past and never thought about the future. She just wholeheartedly advised people not to kill, but to be vegetarian.
