Author Bing Xin, formerly known as Xie Wanying.
The Star 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. Bing Xin not only loves her parents, but also cherishes brotherhood. She loves her three younger brothers. In one of her later articles, she wrote a letter to a young reader. Thirteen, she also compared her three younger brothers to three bright stars. Bing Xin praised maternal love, human love and childlike innocence. 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.
"Spring Water" is a companion piece of "Stars", which consists of 182 short poems. It was also published in the morning paper first, but the spring water came out three months later than the stars.
In Spring Water, although Bing Xin is still praising maternal love, affection, childlike innocence and nature, she has used more space to implicitly express the troubles and anguish of herself and her generation of young intellectuals. She tells her feelings in a gentle and sad tone, explores the meaning of life and expresses her desire to know the true nature of the world.

Star 16 young man! /For future memories,/Draw your present picture carefully.
[Appreciation]
This poem is so popular that you can understand it as soon as you read it. The poet advised us to grasp the present, study hard and work down to earth. Only by "painting your present picture with your heart" will your future career be brilliant and your life path be broad. Only by "recalling the past" can we "not regret wasting time and not be ashamed of doing nothing"! Only in this way can you proudly say that my life is full and meaningful. A word "be careful" can penetrate the back of the paper with exquisite words and infinite care and exhortation.
98 young people in the stars! /Believe in yourself! /Only you are real,/Only you can create yourself.
[Appreciation]
This poem mainly warns young people to build self-confidence. Believe in yourself, overcome yourself, surpass yourself, not afraid of the hardships and frustrations on the road of life, not afraid of the wind, frost, rain and snow in life. Don't give up your troops when you encounter some difficulties, don't be discouraged when you are frustrated, don't be depressed when you are wronged, and don't be depressed when you are hit a little. Or "The Internationale" sings well, "There has never been a savior, it's all up to us". Friends, "believe in yourself", "only you can create yourself", only you can show your beautiful demeanor and show a brand-new yourself in front of the world.
174 young people in the spring water! /Care description,/Time is turning pages,/Please write!
[Appreciation]
This is a very philosophical exhortation poem. At the beginning of the poem, young people are encouraged to study hard and "treasure and describe" their life poems by calling and using inverted sentences. Don't slack off and waste time. Then, use a personification and metaphor rhetoric to point out the reasons and urge people to make progress; Because "time is turning pages,/please write"! Poetry is similar to Yue Fei's "Don't wait for leisure, white the head of a teenager, empty and sad". After reading this, the ancient philosopher's shocking epigram will ring in our ears: "The deceased is like a husband, never giving up day and night", so he will whip his horse to express his diligent and brilliant life.
