"Ten years of drinking ice can't cool the hot blood." The literal meaning is that even if you drink ice water for ten years, you can't cool the hot blood. The metaphor means that a person's determination, persistence and lofty ambitions, because of many Difficulties cannot be stopped. This sentence was said by Liang Qichao. Liang Qichao called himself "Drinking Ice", which means drinking ice when hot in Zhuangzi. However, decades of "drinking ice" failed to cool his blood. From Liang Qichao's "Ice Drinking Room Collection".

Liang Qichao, nicknamed the owner of the ice-drinking room, encouraged himself by saying, "Ten years of drinking ice can hardly cool your hot blood." At that time, Liang Qichao was ordered by Emperor Guangxu to carry out reforms and reform. He was ordered to do so at a critical moment. Facing the country's internal and external troubles, one can imagine Liang Qichao's inner anxiety. How to relieve his "internal heat"? Only "drinking ice" can solve it. Therefore, he used the word "drinking ice" to express his inner worries and anxiety.

We know by consulting the information that the word "drinking ice" originated from "Zhuangzi: The World", which said: "Now I am ordered to drink ice at night, and I feel warm inside! I have not done anything yet. There are yin and yang problems! If things don't work out, there will be human problems. It's not enough to be a minister, so you can tell me!" The original meaning is to describe your inner worries. It implies worry and anxiety for the country and the country. Later, Bao Zhao, a man from the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty, said in "Xie Yong'an's Order is Unleashed and Forbidden to Be Revealed": "Drinking ice to calm down matters, and holding fire to death" to express the panic of being ordered to enter politics and worry about the country.

In short, in the late Qing Dynasty, Mr. Liang Qichao used the phrase "drinking ice for ten years to cool his blood" to express his worries about the current situation and his persistence in ideals and ambitions as a leader of the reform movement. Liang Qichao, a young and promising man at that time, regarded this sentence as his motto, hung it in his bedroom, and named his study: Ice Drinking Room. As a result, Liang Qichao became the owner of the ice drinking room. In addition, Liang Qichao also included this very cherished quote in his anthology "The Ice Drinking Room Collection". Modern people also quote this saying to express their inner ideals and ambitions.
