Biography
Meng Po, translated as Grandmother Meng or Old Lady Meng, is the goddess of forgetfulness. She serves in Diyu and is tasked with ensuring souls who are ready to be reincarnated do not remember their previous life or their time in Hell, which she accomplishes by giving them her Soup of Oblivion (迷魂湯/迷魂汤, Míhúntāng, also translated as the Five Flavored Tea of Forgetfulness) on the Bridge of Forgetfulness. Or in Westerners' eyes, think Lethe from Classical Mythology, both the goddess and the river. In some versions, Grandmother Meng had an origin story—that her true identity was Lady Meng Jiang (孟姜女), whose husband died tragically. In those versions, after the death of her husband, Meng Jiang found herself unable to reincarnate due to her grief, so in order to relieve the pain of life of other spirits, Lady Meng took the initiative to create a bowl of soup that would allow spirits to forget the suffering of their material life.
