Meng Po Tang is a kind of tea soup in ancient folklore in China, which can forget all the troubles and memories, all the love and hate. Legend has it that Meng Po made the magic soup, which made the souls reincarnated in Naiheqiao forget all the memories of past lives completely, so as to reincarnate with peace of mind. The practice is to collect people's tears and boil them into soup. Meng Po Tang's eight tears are cited: one drop of tears, two old tears, three bitter tears, four cups of regret tears, five inches of lovesickness tears, six tears of illness, and seven feet of parting tears. This eighth taste is a sad tear of Meng Po.
Drinking a bowl of Meng Po Tang is a regret of a lifetime, a regret of eternal separation between Yin and Yang, and a farewell of cutting sleeves with a knife. These are no longer important. Because after drinking this Meng Po soup, everything has become indifferent.
The legend of Meng po Tang
According to legend, there is a road called Huangquan Road, a river called Forgotten River, and a bridge called Naihe Bridge. There is a earthen platform called Wangxiangtai across Naihe Bridge. There is an old woman selling Meng Potang by Wangxiangtai. There is a stone called Sansheng Stone by Forgotten River, which makes people forget everything. The Sansheng Stone records past lives, walks across Naihe Bridge, looks at the world for the last time on Wangxiangtai, and drinks a bowl of Meng Potang boiled by Forgotten River.
Those who have loved, those things that can't be put down, and countless joys and sorrows in the rolling world of mortals will only slowly enter the throat with the "Meng Po Tang", and will always solidify in the awkward and tearful look back on the Naihe Bridge, turning into misty clouds and dispersed indifferently.
