In the literary world of modern literature, there was once a comment that the pen name of Bing Xin, a literary immortal, originated from Wang Changling's famous poem: A heart of ice is in a jade pot.
I entered Wu in the cold and rainy night, and I saw off my guests in Chu Shangu in the morning.
When relatives and friends in Luoyang ask each other, their hearts are filled with ice in a jade pot.
Poems are like people. The person is clear, the person is fragrant, and the face is full of warmth. This is Bing Xin's breath. Love is a symbol of Bing Xin. Bing Xin's love for people and literature is so real. Saint Xin.
True, this is the literary outlook that Bing Xin enjoyed and controlled throughout her life. As early as Bing Xin's youth, she had already expressed her literary ideals. That's a real word. Bing Xin once said: I have always maintained that writing must be sincere, and you cannot write for the sake of writing. You must have a burst of emotion before you write. If you can express it in a few words, don't write a lot of unnecessary words. Of course, if you have a lot of feelings, you can't be short.
In the late 1990s, Bing Xin opened a personal column in Shanghai's "Wenhui Po". She said that now, her articles are getting shorter and shorter, and she does not write nonsense or romance. ". In her later years, Bing Xin's articles were short, thoughtful, and delicate. For example, "My Family's Boutique", which she wrote in 1994, only contained more than 200 concise and concise words.
Bing Xin is here In "The Boutique of My Family", it is written: "Behind my desk, there are two bookcases. The upper level is two glass doors that can be pushed open. There are dozens of books with upper and lower inscriptions inside, all of which are gifts from the author. Books include Ye Shengtao, Lao She, Guo Moruo, Mao Dun, Liao Chengzhi, Zhang Tianyi, Li Ji, Qin Mu, Sha Ting, Zhao Puchu, Ba Jin, Xiao Qian, Ye Junjian, Yuan Ying, Wang Meng, Ru Zhijuan, Chen Rong, Zhang Jie ...This bookcase is full of love words. As soon as I opened the cabinet door, I was overwhelmed with love..."
These exquisite collections are all Bing Xin's love. Bing Xin's hands in the exquisite products are traces of the talented woman Xiangxin. The saint's hands.

As a grandmother figure in modern Chinese literature, Bing Xin always cared about the younger generation in the literary world. Writer Tie Ning recalled: "In 1983, my novel "Oh, Xiangxue" was published. won the National Novel Award. Comrades from the Writers Association told me that Mr. Bing Xin asked to meet me. After meeting her, I found that Bing Xin was as elegant, simple and calm as her words. She wrote an inscription on one of my little notebooks: "Children Tiening, if you have time, read more foreign novels (or translations), so that you can broaden your horizons and have more vocabulary, which will help you in writing." Later I met again. I visited my husband many times. In the early 1990s, she wrote the words "The breeze is seated" for me with a brush. I have always hung it in my study. Her true, kind and beautiful words and her deep and broad love for the literary world will last forever."
Bing Xin’s life-long love, her heart is full of sincerity for this living world. Bing Xin's love is given to others first. Bing Xin is even more caring for young literature lovers. Like a loving mother. Bing Xin's love even has an innate nature. Bing Xin's love between her children was expressed as early as in the literary works of the 1920s and 1930s. Chapters such as "Little Orange Lamp", "To Little Readers", "To Young Readers Again", "To Indian Philosopher Rabindranath Tagore", "The Love of the Universe", etc., have all become tangible manifestations of Bing Xin's love. Let's take a look at her "Seventh Letter to Little Readers"——
Children, my dear ones are not here, so I called her to comfort the ice. Whenever I swim in the evening, the boat is as light as a feather and the water is as soft as slurry. The leaves around the shore, green, red, yellow, and white, reflected in the water, and the clouds covered half of the lake's autumn water. In the light and mist on the lake, I whispered to Zhai to take my love and comfort with it to the Far East...
Such a beautiful charm, love and comfort.
A Piece of Bing Xin in a Jade Pot...
This "For Young Readers" is a work written by Bing Xin in 1923. Bing Xin was only twenty-three years old at the time. In the autumn of 1923, Bing Xin took a boat to Wellesley Women's University in the United States to study English literature. From this year to 1926, Bing Xin captured his personal experiences of traveling to foreign countries and mixed them with his own memories of the past, forming a dialogue-like "Bing Xin Body".
Bing Xin's "To Little Readers" contains 29 letters sent to children. They were published one after another in the "Children's World" column of "Morning Post", and were compiled into "For Young Readers" and published in 1926. This is a representative work of Bing Xin's early prose and the earliest children's literature work in modern China. Her prose has higher achievements than novels and poems, and was called the magical "Bing Xin Style" at the time.
The love in "Bing Xin Body" is always so tender that it cannot be hidden in time. Haunting us. Bing Xin is like a harp, she plays the words. She told the language. Not hot or roasted, this is Bing Xin's poem that delights herself and faces life gracefully. Many Chinese critics often praise Bing Xin, praising her as "a crystal star embedded in the night sky, and like a pool of spring water, where the wind blows, ripples are like brocade."
"Bing Xin Ti" loves her deeply. Miss her dearly. Jade Pot, Bing Xin
Bing Xin's original name was Xie Wanying. She was born on October 5, 1900, in the family of a naval officer in Fuzhou City, Fujian Province. Her childhood was often accompanied by the sea, and her early works often described the sea affectionately.
In 1923, 23-year-old Bing Xin graduated from Yenching University with honors, receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree and a Golden Key Award. After that, Bing Xin crossed the river and went to the University of Wellesley in the United States to study English literature. After Bing Xin received a master's degree in English literature in 1926, she returned to China to teach at Yenching University, Tsinghua University and Beijing Women's College of Arts and Sciences. Later, Bing Xin also taught at the University of Tokyo in Japan. Bing Xin's footprints have traveled all over the United States, Britain, Europe and the Soviet Union. Bing Xin throws her love to all directions.
In September 1919, Bing Xin published her first novel "Two Families" under this pen name for the first time. The theme directly addresses the improvement of family life. Then Bing Xin wrote a series of so-called "problem novels" such as "The Man Is Alone and Haggard" and "Dong'er Girl". Bing Xin's prose "Laughter" published in 1921 is a stunning work in the New Literature Movement. It is known as the first beautiful vernacular article in the history of modern Chinese prose. Later, Bing Xin was also influenced by the Indian writer Rabindranath Tagore's "Birds", and published more than 300 aphoristic free-style poems in succession, including "Stars", "Spring Water" and so on.
Since the 1920s, a series of prose, novels and poems written by Bing Xin have become famous rapidly. Her works "For Young Readers", "Past Things", "Little Orange Lamp", "Stars", "Spring Water", etc. are all valued and even praised as the unique "Bing Xin Style". In her creative career of more than seventy years, Bing Xin left us a huge number of prose poems and novels. Bing Xin translated seven million words of works. Rich in boudoir essence, beautiful products are like songs. Bing Xin's works are widely read, and People's Literature Publishing House published a second edition of "Selected Novels and Prose of Bing Xin". Hundreds of thousands of copies were published. The Children's Publishing House still insists on reprinting "Three Posts to Little Readers".
At the turn of the century, Bing Xin, a giant in China’s modern literary world and a veteran of China’s May 4th New Culture Movement, left the world she loved peacefully. Bing Xin lived to be ninety-nine years old. Just like what is said in traditional Chinese culture, Bing Xin died without any illness. Bing Xin died. No pain, no regrets.
The jade pot is clear and clear. A piece of ice in the jade pot.

Like many talented female writers, Bing Xin is accustomed to using the first person in her writing. This fits perfectly with Bing Xin's article. Opening your heart is the depth of love. Ge Cuilin, the person in charge of the jury for the "Bing Xin Award" for children's literature writers, recalled Bing Xin and said: Bing Xin often wore a cloth cheongsam without makeup, and was sincere and kind to others, like a mother and a friend. When I go to Bing Xin's house, she often takes out a piece of roasted sweet potato from the stove for me to eat...
Bing Xin's writing is not pretentious or coy. There is reserve and there is blush. Many of Bing Xin's articles deal with family relationships. And friends. For example, her "For Young Readers", "I Love Small Animals", "Tea Party at My Family", "An Unforgettable Meal", "Mourning for Ding Ling", "Jin Yuelao in Memories", "Remembering Tianyi", "Mourning for Mr. Liang Shiqiu" and so on.
In this article by Bing Xin in memory of Liang Shiqiu, Bing Xin said with emotion: "How unfortunate that just yesterday Liang Wenqian told me that her father might come back for a visit recently, he passed away the day before. Shiqiu, you are still happy. Being mourned by others will shed fewer tears than someone who writes an article in memory of others, right?”
Bing Xin was already eighty when she said this. Seven years old. Still so nostalgic. So passionate. A piece of ice in the jade pot. In that jade pot, there is also the love we long for.
Bing Xin’s works have influenced generations of readers. Famous scholar and writer Yang Jiang told reporters: "In front of Mr. Bing Xin, I am a reader and student. When I was in middle school, I read Mr. Bing Xin's "Spring Water", "Stars" and "For Young Readers". These poems and prose are She was the first new literary work that I came into contact with when I was a child. I admired her very much at that time. After I went to college, I read her translation of "The Prophet" and admired her very much. Because Qian Zhongshu was hospitalized in his later years and he became a neighbor in the hospital, I gave it to him every year. She sent flowers. I always called her Master Bing Xin. [5] Bing Xin has always been praised as the conscience of Chinese intellectuals. Bing Xin's literary creation began in 1919. This year, she published the novel "Two Families" for the first time under the name Bing Xin. It was followed by a series of "problem novels" such as "The Man Alone and Haggard" and "Superman". These works reflected feudalism and its marriage. The destruction of women. It understands the cry of the educated youth of that time who had no way to serve the country, as well as the national calamity and suffering.
Bing Xin’s literature is protective of the family and patriotism. Bing Xin's personal life experience is full of national sentiments and resentment from generation to generation. As early as the 100th anniversary of the Sino-Japanese naval battle, Bing Xin wanted to write a documentary feature "The Sino-Japanese War". At an advanced age, Bing Xin said, "I want to write a big work." But later, Bing Xin didn't move a word. She said it was not because she was old, but because of illness. But because of crying, because of crying, because as soon as I hold the pen, I can't help but burst into tears. I cried so much that I couldn't write, and there were only hot tears falling on the paper..."
Five years after Bing Xin's death, Bing Xin's children were sorting out their mother's belongings and found that Bing Xin's "The Sino-Japanese War" had already begun. Bing Xin wrote: I My father, Mr. Xie Baozhang, participated in that war as the second gunnery officer of the warship. He said that at that time, the Japanese fleet came from a distance flying the British flag, and the Japanese flag was not displayed until it arrived, leaving us unprepared. He hurriedly responded to the challenge. The colleague next to him (my mother's nephew Yang Jian) ??was hit in the chest and abdomen by the shell, and his intestines were stained on the chimney.
After the armistice, his father tore off the dried liver sausage from the chimney and stuffed it into his chest. Later, the ship was sunk, and my father swam from the Dadonggou battlefield to Liugong Island, and then returned to Fuzhou...
Bing Xin's writing is full of tears. The text is full of national conditions. The laughter and tears in the soul.

Bing Xin has loved children all her life. Bing Xin is a warm image of Chinese mother. She is peace personified. Bing Xin has a deep concern and affection for the country’s education. When she heard the news that some places were in arrears with teachers' wages, she was heartbroken and inevitably shed tears. Bing Xin wrote an article calling for improving teachers’ pay. Love the house and the bird, Bing Xin once taught the teacher. In 1991, Bing Xin inscribed the title of the large-scale book "I Love My Hometown" - "Sincere Childlike Heart, Deep Local Love". Bing Xin carried out her praise and love for her children throughout her life.
For Bing Xin’s birthday, writer Han Suyin hopes to establish an award in children’s literature and art named after Bing Xin as her 90th birthday gift. Bing Xin said to her friends: "Remember, don't highlight me personally. To be honest, I am very ashamed of my achievements in the literary world." The words "Give the world love and beauty" are Bing Xin's words. It is also a portrayal of Bing Xin. With love there is everything.
Even until her later years, Bing Xin still paid attention to the reality of life and showed her love. Due to her prominent position in the history of Chinese literature, the Museum of Modern Chinese Literature later held a special position as Bing Xin. Bing Xin's works are unique in their elegance, softness and gentleness. Bing Xin has always been so gentle and elegant. She is a beautiful scenery in the Chinese literary world.
Maybe it’s because of love, when Bing Xin is old. The complexion is still healthy and fair and rosy. Her broad and high forehead, with its tiny wrinkles, made her even more gleaming with wisdom. The brilliance of the old man's eyes is always so kind and wise. Bing Xin always likes to wear a beautiful Chinese-style bun on her head. Bing Xin always wears a pure Chinese-style slanted jacket, full of pride, staring for a long time, and the jade trees are facing the wind.

Bing Xin is someone who is nostalgic for her alma mater. Starting in 1926, 26-year-old Bing Xin returned to China and worked as a Chinese language teacher at Yenching University for ten years. According to Bing Xin's personal characteristics, the school specially asked Bing Xin to teach Mandarin to freshmen. In order to ensure accurate pronunciation, Bing Xin made up a jingle for the students. This tongue-twisting order is detoured like this——
When will the golden bridge be far away, the jade ponds are sparse, and the sky and sea will be broad?
When we are apart, we only miss each other until we die, but we still miss each other before we die.
Look at the talented woman Bing Xin, even teaching texts cannot be separated from her. Her life and death and sex, this complex, apart from each other, she only misses her in death, but in that case, she misses her before she is dead. Iceman loves people. Love is knowledgeable and sensible. She is a lovely wise woman.
Due to the love and care of Yanjing School, Bing Xin said: "All the teachers in the school are my teachers." Bing Xin always kept a low profile. During school meetings, Bing Xin was always present. Her colleagues jokingly called this beautiful young female teacher "Faculty Baby". That is, "the girl in the professor's association."
At that time, Bing Xin, a newly appointed professor, offered two elective courses for students: European drama and writing. At that time, Bing Xin’s writing topic was also strange. One time I wrote "First Love". Bing Xin asked her students to write about personal experiences or fiction. Another time Bing Xin asked the question "The Beauty of Ideals". Bing Xin's composition teaching is obviously imbued with her own value orientation. Bing Xin's award was also given with emotion.
No. 66 Yannanyuan of Yanjing University is Bing Xin’s home. Here, Bing Xin spent her rare youth. In 1929, Bing Xin's sweetheart, Wu Wenzao, returned home with a doctorate from Columbia University. Bing Xin is ready to get married. Bing Xin's wedding was of high quality and low price, only costing thirty-four yuan. Now, thirty-four yuan can probably buy two and a half bottles of mineral water. And it must be ordinary mineral water.
Bing Xin and Wu Wenzao met in August 1923. At this time, Bing Xin and some Chinese students were taking the Jackson mail ship west to study in the United States. Bing Xin was on the boat and was entrusted by her classmates to find a classmate named Wu Zhuo on the boat. Unexpectedly, someone named Wu Wenzao was found for her.
This Wen Zao scolded Bing Xin for not studying enough when he met her for the first time. This so-called attack left a deep impression on Bing Xin. At that time, Bing Xin was surrounded by many suitors, and she took a fancy to Wu Wenzao. In June 1929, Bing Xin and Wu Wenzao held their wedding at Linhuxuan in Yanyuan. There was no official new house, so they spent their wedding night at Odajue Temple in the west of the capital. Regarding her family rituals, Bing Xin wrote a novel called "The First Banquet" in her autobiography, describing the situation at that time - "After class, Wen Zao I just sat down in his study with satisfaction, and it seemed that I could live a lifelong nerdy life of preparing lessons, teaching, and doing research." Bing Xin once described her love and affection like this: Two people are of the same mind, and they are as powerful as gold. Bing Xin has never had any scandals in her life. It should be related to the home in your heart. Home is Bing Xin’s love.
Home is the shore of Bing Xin. Love has a shore, but love has no boundaries.

Finally, we still want to read Bing Xin’s youthful poem "Ice God"——
This is not her top The round light turns into thousands of rays of light?
Is it true? Is it a dream? I just remember deeply:
It’s an iceberg, it’s a goddess, it’s pointing to the sky...
The Iceberg Goddess. Youthful dream. At that time, the pure quality was far away. It is Bing Xin's work in August 1921. Bing Xin is twenty-one years old this year. Probably? Bing Xin started with this, and her belief in the iceberg goddess continued from one beginning to the next. This so-called Ice God chapter should be written in Xishan, Beijing. That is already the words of Bing Xin’s surrender to great love. Bingxin jade pot. Transparent and clear. Coincidentally, Wang Changling, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, also had similar verses. The so-called quatrain emperor in the kingdom of poetry, Wang Changling's poem "Farewell to Xin Jian at the Furong Tower", wrote like this -
"The cold rain comes to Wu at night, and I see off the guest Chu Shangu in the bright light."
When relatives and friends in Luoyang ask each other, their hearts are filled with ice in a jade pot.
A heart of ice in a jade pot vividly expresses the poet's tranquil mood in adversity. Being homesick and missing people are all human feelings. In terms of the realm and mind of poetry, Wang Changling, the sage of poetry in the Tang Dynasty, is sincere. The Bingxin jade pot above is the admiration of ancient Chinese literati for a generation of fine scholars.
It is a kind of pure and pure heart. The ancients were willing to call it a jade pot. Lu Ji also thought so. In "Ode to the Meritorious Officials of Han Emperor Gaozu", he once lamented the merits of the scribes as "the heart is as cold as ice". Another example is that the great poet Bao Zhao sang in his "Baitou Yin": as straight as a Zhusi rope, as clear as the ice of a jade pot. Sincerity and integrity are like a heart of ice at the bottom of a jade pot.
True love requires true feelings. Bing Xin said so, as clear as ice in a jade pot.
A piece of ice in the jade pot...
