This poem was written by Yu Qian, a famous minister and national hero in Ming Dynasty. The full text of the poem is as follows: a thousand hammers cut out the mountains, and if the fire burns idle. Don't be afraid of broken bones, leave innocence in the world. The first sentence "A thousand hammers cut a deep mountain" describes that it is not easy to mine limestone. The second sentence "burning a fire when it is idle" makes people feel that it is not only burning limestone, but also symbolizes that people with lofty ideals will face no matter how severe the test is. Take it for granted The third sentence "not afraid of broken bones and powder" vividly describes the process of burning limestone into lime, and "not afraid of anything" implies the spirit of not afraid of sacrifice. And the last sentence "I want to leave my innocence in the world" is the author's sincere emotion and determination to be a pure and innocent person.
This poem is a poem that expresses one's feelings by borrowing things. Every sentence is about lime, in fact, every sentence is about people. The first two sentences are about the characteristics of lime, and the words "if you are idle" express the author's fearless spirit in the face of difficulties. The last sentence shows the noble character of serving the country faithfully and being a teacher.
When I first read this poem, my heart was full of blood, and I was deeply attracted by this heroism. When the words "tempered", "burned" and "broken bones" came into view, I felt fearless and heroic in my heart.
As a minister of the Ming dynasty, the author Yu Qian set an example, loyal to serving the country and being an innocent person. He compared himself to this atmospheric quatrain of seven words, with clear and profound language and immortal people and poems. This poem expresses that a person should be as firm and unyielding as lime, even if he is fearless, he is only afraid of leaving innocence on earth.
