Source: Poetry of Lime —— Ming Dynasty: Yu Qian
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.
Stones mined from the deep mountains after thousands of times of chiseling regard the burning of blazing fire as a very common thing. Even if it is smashed into pieces, it is not afraid, as long as the noble moral integrity stays in the world.

1, the creative background of lime songs
According to legend, one day, Yu Qian went to a lime kiln to watch the master sing and ask people to calcine lime. I saw piles of blue-black rocks, which turned into white lime after being burned by fire. I was deeply moved and sang a well-known poem Ode to Lyme. It is said that Yu Qian was only twelve years old at this time. He wrote this poem not only as a portrayal of lime image, but also as his future life pursuit.
2. Appreciation of Lyme Ode
Yu Qian was deeply loved by the people for being an official and upright, rehabilitating unjust imprisonment and relieving famine. In Ming Yingzong, Walla invaded and Ming Yingzong was captured. Yu Qian proposed to establish Mingjing as emperor, personally led the troops to stick to Gyeonggi, repel Vala, and rescue the people from the brutal rule of Mongolian nobles again. However, after the British Restoration, the national hero was falsely killed for "treason". This poem of lime can be said to be a true portrayal of Yu Qian's life and personality.
