1. The content of "Stars in Spring Water" is the "feelings and memories anytime and anywhere" written casually by the poet Bing Xin. Later, inspired by Tagore's Birds, she felt that there was a shadow of poetry in her little miscellaneous feelings, and it became the first two small poems after sorting them out.
2. Bing Xin probably didn't think that the publication of her two poems full of implication and philosophy would touch the heartstrings of so many young people who have been silent for a long time, so under her influence, the new poems since the May 4th Movement entered an era of popular poetry.
3. Stars is a collection of poems, consisting of 164 short poems. Bing Xin believed in "the philosophy of love" all her life, and she thought that "with love, there is everything". In the Stars, she kept praising love. What she loves to praise most is maternal love. Besides loving his parents, Shui Xin also cherishes brotherhood. She loves one of her younger brothers.
In an essay she wrote later, A Letter to a Little Reader, she compared her three younger brothers to three bright stars. Bing Xin praised maternal love and human love. At the same time, she also praised nature, especially the sea she was familiar with as a child. Praising nature, childlike innocence and maternal love has become the eternal theme of Bing Xin's life creation.
