I remember how to write 冰 by thinking about icicles. I think of the left side structure of this character as the pointy ends of an icicle, and attach that to a water radical.

冰 contains the character for water. To make ice you need water. So to remember this character I think the left side being sticks that hold water together.

To me it looks like the right character is slipping because it seems it’s waving its arms in the air, so when they slip,they slip on ice.

I remember 冰 by looking at the left side of the character as an axe, using the outer two strokes of the ice radical and the first half of the water radical. The remaining right half of the character is ice being shattered by an axe.

How I memorize this character: right hand side radical is water; left hand side is ice radical so together i think of ice water (which has ice inside).

冰 is very simple to remember because it contains the radical for ice and the character for water, and ice is obviously just frozen water.

冰 radical contains 水(water), which makes it easy to remember by adding two strokes in front. Personally, I memorized it thinking the water becomes ice by putting two strokes in the front

the ice radical and the water character compose the character ice, “ice water”.

if you put ice (radical) to the left of water (shui4), you got ice (bing1)

to me it looks like a snowflake and thus reminds me of ice. there’s also a water radical which can exemplify ice.

the right part of the character is water but with the radical ice = ice made from water
