Bing Xin's pen name is taken from

Bing Xin's pen name is taken from a poem named "Farewell to a New Stream in Furong Inn" written by Wang Changling in Tang Dynasty.

One line of this poem is: "Luoyang relatives and friends ask each other, and there is a piece of ice in the jade pot." Bing Xin chose this poem as his pen name, hoping to keep a pure and transparent heart, not be tempted and polluted by the outside world, and persist in pursuing truth, goodness and beauty.
