Thousands of hammers carved out the deep mountains, and the fire burned them as if nothing happened.
Don’t be afraid of your bones being shattered into pieces, you must remain innocent in this world.

Limestone can only be mined from the mountains after thousands of hammers. It treats the burning of raging fire as a very common thing. Even if you are broken into pieces, you are not afraid, as long as you keep your noble integrity in the world.

Yu Qian of the Ming Dynasty's "Ode of Lime"
Appreciation of "Ode of Lime"
The first sentence "Thousands of hammers and thousands of chisels" "Out of the mountains" refers to the difficulty of mining limestone. The second sentence is "The fire burns as if it were nothing". "Burning with fire", of course, refers to the smelting of limestone. The addition of the three words "ruo take it easy" makes people feel that it is not only writing about smelting limestone, it also seems to symbolize that people with lofty ideals and benevolence take it easy and take it easy no matter what severe tests they face.
The third sentence "I am not afraid of my bones being shattered into pieces". "Broken to pieces" vividly describes burning limestone into lime powder, and the words "not afraid at all" remind us that it may contain the spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice. As for the last sentence "to leave innocence in the world", it is the author's direct expression of his feelings and his determination to be a pure and innocent person.
