奈何桥在哭诉孟婆汤在微笑
[nài hé qiáo zài kū sù mèng pó tāng zài wēi xiào]
In folklore, 'Naihe Bridge' (奈何桥) leads souls into afterlife where 'Mengpo soup' (孟婆汤), given by grandmother Meng to make the dead forget mortal life, enables smooth transition. So 'Naihe Bridge cries but Mengpo Soup smiles'(奈何桥在哭诉孟婆汤在微笑) depicts contrasts: sad crossings to new existence yet tranquil oblivion granting closure. It hints profound reflections on life’s endings and beginnings intertwined with sorrows and peace.
