When Bing Xin portrays characters, most of them don't need strong colors or elaborate carving, and only use the brushwork of sketching and lightly counting strokes. Characters are like hibiscus out of water, emerging from the water. Sister June 1st, Girl Dong Er and Little Orange Lantern respectively created the images of girls in three different eras. Bing Xin created a series of ideal and perfect images of young women in her novels. Most of them are kind-hearted, gentle and beautiful, lively and generous, steady and dignified.

Bing Xin's prose has a wide range of themes and profound implications. Bing Xin vividly reflects some aspects of China's turbulent and complicated social life in the past hundred years through her delicate description of her own experience. In Bing Xin's prose, we saw the tragic scene that in semi-colonial and semi-feudal old China, the imperialist, feudal and bureaucratic comprador classes oppressed and ravaged the people of China, and heroic people and patriotic youths rose up and fought bravely. At the same time, the theme of Bing Xin's prose also extends to the history, geography, culture and customs of many countries in the world, as well as the sufferings and struggles of the people, from which readers can gain rich international knowledge, such as the ancient cultures of Egypt and India.

Bing Xin's novels, with few representative works, are mostly fresh and meaningful treasures. Many of her works seem simple in plot, but profound in meaning, leaving endless aftertaste. She captured a fragment of real life, an accident in her life journey, and showed a side of complex social life. There is no bizarre and tortuous story here, no feat of Kingoma Iron, but there is a philosophical pursuit. She often observes society and examines life with keen eyes; From the influence of interpersonal relationship, generate sparks, captures the philosophy contained in life, reposes his feelings, and is full of fresh philosophy and poetry.
In the structure of novels, most of them adopt two-way structural framework and mutual reflection format. She often takes two families, two characters, two events and two sides of the ocean as the main line and develops in a balanced way, but the outcome of development is quite different. Through sharp contrast, it is enlightening and thought-provoking. In the description of novels, she often uses the technique of line drawing to outline a vivid image and express her unique poetic feelings with concise pen and ink without comparison.
In Bing Xin's works, the activities of characters are often arranged in the early morning, dusk and moonlit night. The activity scene is set at the seaside, lakeside, park, mountain and boat; With the help of the description of natural scenery, the beauty of characters and the beauty of environment are integrated into one, so as to achieve a situation of blending scenes and create a specific warm atmosphere.
