"Stars in Spring Water" is recognized as the highest achievement of the poem, and Mao Dun called it "starry sky lattice" and "spring water body". The theme it embodies is: maternal love, nature and innocence, which constructs Bing Xin's ideological core "philosophy of love".
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.
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, while exploring the meaning of life and expressing her desire to know the true face of the world.
