Lyme Poetry is a seven-character quatrain written by Yu Qian, a politician and writer in Ming Dynasty. Original text:
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.
Not afraid of broken bones, leaving innocence in the world.
Translation:
Limestone can only be mined from the deep mountains after tens of millions of hammering. It regards burning with raging fire as a very common thing.
Even if it is shattered, it is not afraid. It is willing to leave a clean body in the world.

Creative background:
Yu Qian studied hard since childhood and was ambitious. According to legend, one day, he wandered into a lime kiln and watched the master sing and ask people to calcine lime. I saw piles of blue-black rocks, which were burned by the raging fire and turned into white lime.
He was deeply moved and wrote this poem after a little thinking. 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.
