Lime lingering money
A thousand hammers cut deep mountains,
If the fire burns accidentally.
I'm not afraid of fractures,
Leave innocence in the world.
Translation:
(Stone) can only be mined from the mountain after repeated impacts. It regards the burning of fire as a common thing. Even if it is smashed into pieces, it is not afraid and is willing to leave a clean body in the world.

Yu Qian is an official, honest and clean. He was deeply loved by the people for rehabilitating unjust imprisonment and helping the victims. When Ming Yingzong was invaded by Vala, Yingzong was captured. Yu Qian proposed the establishment of Jingdi, and personally led the troops to stick to Beijing, repelling Vara, and making the people get rid of the brutal rule of Mongolian nobles again. However, after the restoration of Yingzong, he falsely killed national heroes on the grounds of "rebellion". This "Song of Lime" can be said to be the life and history of Yu Qian.
