Who is Meng Po and whose wife is Meng Po?

In ancient myths and legends, almost no one does not know the existence of "Meng Po". In all kinds of mythological works, Meng Po is also a supporting role with high appearance rate. After all, in people's imagination, she just sent a bowl of Mengpo soup to every dead person, which seems to have no effect. However, despite being a "green leaf" for thousands of years, Meng Po also has his own life, so what kind of person is the legendary Meng Po?

1. Meng Po's works

There are many legends about Meng Po. I believe that every author who writes or draws cartoons has his own different imagination and explanation. Here are some popular sayings. But before that, Meng Po's works are worth mentioning. Meng Po, Meng Po Tang, has become a specific pronoun, and there is no need to explain anything at all, so people can understand what it means.

According to legend, Meng Po sent a bowl of Meng Po Tang to all the dead who were going to reincarnate in the underworld, so that they could forget the memory of this life and enter the next reincarnation. Therefore, the protagonists in many literary works will choose not to drink this bowl of soup, and the result is often tragic, but these are just the needs of the plot. I wonder if Meng Po, the instigator of erasing the memory of creatures, will roll his eyes when he sees this?

2. Meng Jiangnv

There are two legends about the origin of Meng Po. The first one is Meng Po and Meng Jiangnv. Needless to say, Meng Jiangnv cried down the Great Wall. I have to say that in order to slander Qin Shihuang, the stories that can be fabricated are really one after another. According to legend, after the Great Wall collapsed, Meng Jiangnv still couldn't find her husband's bones, and her heart naturally suffered and was heartbroken. She wanted to forget all this, so she had a dream of forgetting her memory-Popo Tang.

God felt this yearning for her, and once again rescued her from suffering, leaving her to cook Mengpo soup full-time by Naihe Bridge. Although Meng Po is called "Shiva", she is a peerless beauty, and the statement that Meng Po is Meng Jiangnv only became popular in the Yuan Dynasty, and prevailed in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and even now it is still a widely circulated statement. However, although Meng Po has forgotten the past, her only memory is sending Meng Po Tang to the dead, which sounds a little sad.

3. Dismissed officials in heaven

According to the second legend, Meng Po was originally a scattered official in heaven, which has existed since the beginning of the division of heaven and earth. As a scattered official in charge of everything, Meng Po saw a lot of human grievances and gratitude and resentment in Where Are You Going, but people are always reluctant to let go of everything and don't want to throw away everything they have experienced, which will make people more miserable. Meng Po felt it was a pity, so he began to think of some way.

She came to Naihe Bridge, set up a cauldron, and refined people's unwilling thoughts into Meng Po soup. After drinking, the undead forgot everything and went to be reborn with peace of mind. After all, life is over and you can't take it away. So it's good for them to let go of everything.
