What is the origin of Bing Xin’s name?

In 1919, Bing Xin used "Bing Xin" as a pen name for the first time when she published her first novel "Two Families". According to Bing Xin, "At that time, I didn't want my classmates to know that I wrote the article, and the stroke of 'Bing Xin' was simple and easy to write, and it was consistent with the meaning of 'Ying' in my real name, Xie Wanying, which means 'smooth and transparent'.

After I was born, my grandfather asked a fortune teller to tell my fortune. The fortune teller said that I should be male and have the star Wenqu in my destiny. He also said that there was a lack of fire in my horoscope, so my second uncle named me 'Wanying'. , "Ying" has two characters for "fire" at the beginning."
