Why did the poet say, "I seem to be an ore"?

This is the Revelation of Gold by the poet Ye Ding.

The revelation of gold

It's gold

Sink,

It's slag

Just floating,

With this simple fact,

20,000 gold comes from sand. ...

The gold digger suggested:

"Flash.

Not gold,

It is mica; Gold doesn't show off in front of people. "

Yes, gold is made by my own teacher.

Ballast all frivolous things;

Win respect.

Accept the elutriation of water

The melting of fire,

Make yourself more pure.

Under any pressure

Can only be extended,

Cann't deteriorate,

Like an ambitious man

Never change your mind. ...

I bought it from a gold shop.

Get inspired,

This is better than getting the gold itself.

More precious!

The gold digger leads the way,

I visited the trapezoidal placer gold workshop.

From top to bottom,

According to the production procedure

Sink, sink ...

I seem to be a piece of ore,

After high pressure and crushing,

After countless times of sinking,

It's gold

Sink into the water,

Not gold.

Float up

Died with the foam ...

I seem to be a piece of ore, so I may be gold, mica or other stone oak, so there are two kinds of results waiting for me, either becoming gold or bursting the bubble. The implication is that if you want to become gold, you have to go through "heavy pressure, crushing and elutriation" and stand the tempering given by life before you can shine.
