Is there really a Broken Soul Bridge and Meng Po Soup?

These are the fabled conditions of hell, just as horrific as those depicted in Dante's Divine Comedy. "Nai River" is the name of the river in hell according to Buddhism. This is recorded in the fourth volume of the Xuanmuro Chronicles:

Walk more than ten miles, to a water, not a few feet wide, flow to the southwest. Observing Xi, Xi said: 'This is the so-called Nai River, and its source comes from the underworld'.

The water is bloody, and the filth is not approachable. Because there is a bridge on the river, it is called "Nai River Bridge". The bridge is narrow and smooth, and it is guarded day and night by the god of day and night.

The blood river under the bridge is full of insects and snakes, the waves are rolling, and the fishy wind is blowing. The ghost of the wicked fell into the river, just like the description in the tenth chapter of "Journey to the West": "The copper snake and iron dog are free to fight for food, and there is no way out of the Nai River forever".

I can't help but think of the horror of the Nai River in the underworld. "Journey to the West" Chapter 11: The Judge Dao:

Your Majesty, it's called Nai Ho Bridge. If you go to the sun, you must pass it on. Folklore:

After death, the soul of a person must cross the Nai River Bridge, the good ones have the protection of gods and Buddhas to cross the bridge smoothly, and the evil ones are beaten into the blood river pool to suffer. This is described in detail in the book "Investigation of Religious Customs in Xudu": "...The bridge is divided into three layers (or three), the ghosts of the good can safely pass through the upper bridge, the good and evil cross the middle bridge, and the ghosts of the wicked cross the lower bridge, and are mostly stopped by the ghosts into the dirty waves under the bridge, and are bitten by copper snakes and iron dogs.

Every year, during the incense festival, pilgrims compete to throw paper money or copper plates into the pool, and sprinkle fried rice into the pool, thinking that they can give it to hungry ghosts. Many elderly pilgrims like to walk from above, thinking that after walking this bridge, they can avoid the pain of crossing the Nai River Bridge after death. "Meng Po Soup" is an ancient Chinese legend, which is recorded in an ancient book of Lan Zi's family.

In that legend, people are reincarnated from life to life. The end of this life is but the beginning of the next. People who live in the cycle of life and life cannot have the memory of their past lives, just because everyone will drink Meng Po soup on the Nai He Bridge before they are reincarnated.

Therefore, when walking on the Nai Ho Bridge, it is the time when a person finally has the memory of this life. At this moment, many people are still clinging to the unfulfilled wishes of their previous lives, but they deeply understand that these wishes will eventually not be realized, so they let out a long sigh. This is also the reason why this bridge connecting the reincarnations of various generations is named Nai He Bridge.

I also hope it's fake, because I don't like soup.

Of course not, it's just a myth and a legend.

This is a story I saw in the book, a little bit of it: Meng Po had a prospective husband, and then somehow they set foot on the Yellow Spring, the man Xu Ding must find Meng Po as a husband and wife in his last life, so he was reincarnated, and then Meng Po has been waiting for the man to bring a dowry to propose, and waited for more than 20 years, after Meng Po decided to find a man, and found it, the man and a rich lady have been married, Meng Po is very desperate, the rest of her life is lived alone, she cooks a good soup, boiled with red beans, it is very delicious, and it can make people forget the things of this life, After the king of Yama sent black white impermanence to take her into the underworld, the life and death book did not record that Meng Po did anything bad, Meng Po walked on the bridge of Nai He was deeply touched, remembered the promise made with the man in the previous life, couldn't help but be sad, she asked the king of Hades to take up a position in the underworld, and named Meng Po, to the people who want to be reincarnated to drink Meng Po soup, not to let the same tragedy be staged in others, so there is Meng Po soup.

Because I can't remember it clearly after a long time, there may be some discrepancies.

Meng Po soup is still because there is love, because there is love, there is hate, and there is the legendary Meng Po soup.

Legend has it that people have to drink Meng Po soup to forget the past and start over, but the reason why Meng Po soup is called Meng Po soup is because this soup can only be boiled by Meng Po, if you offend her, without Meng Po soup, the Three Realms will be in chaos.

There is a saying that everyone has to drink Meng Po soup to forget the past and start anew, but the reason why this Meng Po soup is called Meng Po soup is because this soup can only be boiled by Meng Po, if you offend her, without Meng Po soup, the Three Realms will be in chaos.

Maybe it's because no one can boil Meng Po soup except Meng Po, if no one boils Meng Po soup, the reincarnated person can't drink Meng Po soup, she will be reincarnated with her memory, and the world will be chaotic.

This is just a legend, what kind of soup Meng Po is like, and no one knows, no one dares to offend her with such a person.

I have heard a saying that Meng Po and Yue Lao must have been a pair of lovers in their last life, one is in the sky and the other is in the underworld.

Because whoever dares to offend him, he has to let people drink Meng Po soup, and he doesn't remember what happened before, so no one dares to offend.

Legend has it that Meng Po's identity is not ordinary, her father is Emperor Yao of the ancient times, and her husband is Emperor Shun, so no one dares to offend her.

This is awe, although it is a myth and legend, I personally think that this reflects everyone's awe of death and death.
