It can only be extracted from the deep mountains after being struck by thousands of hammers. It regards the burning of the burning fire as a very common thing.

I'm not afraid of fractures. I want to leave my innocence in the world.

Author: Ming Dynasty poet Yu Qian

Translation:

(Limestone) can only be mined from the deep mountains after thousands of hammering. It regards the burning of blazing fire as a very common thing.

Even if it is shattered, it is not afraid. It is willing to leave a clean body in the world.

Creative background:

Yu Qian studied hard since childhood and was ambitious. According to legend, one day, he wandered into a lime kiln and watched the master sing and ask people to calcine lime. I saw piles of blue-black rocks, which were burned by the raging fire and turned into white lime. He was deeply moved, and after a little thinking, he sang the well-known poem Ode to Lyme. Therefore, this poem written by Yu Qian at the age of 12 is not only a portrayal of lime image, but also his pursuit of life.

Appreciate:

This is a poem that holds things in the air to express one's ambition. The author uses lime as a metaphor to express his determination to be loyal to the country, not afraid of sacrifice and stick to noble sentiments.
