Origin and Story of 一片冰心
During the Tang Dynasty, the poet Wang Changling often faced setbacks in his official career, offending powerful figures and being repeatedly demoted.
Yet, he found solace in his transparent and pure heart, determined not to associate with those who were corrupt.
He expressed this sentiment in his poem Farewell to Xin Jian at Furong Tower: Cold rain falls over the river at night as I enter Wu; at dawn, I see off my guest, and the Chu mountains stand alone. If my friends and family in Luoyang ask about me, tell them I have a heart of pure ice in a jade pot.
