Limestone hymn
Yu Qian, the author of 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.
Even if it is smashed to pieces, I am not afraid, and I am willing to leave a clean one in the world.
Poetic:
Stones mined from deep mountains after thousands of chisels are common to the burning of fire; As long as you can leave your innocence in the world, you are not afraid of death. On the surface, this four-line poem is only a work of chanting things, that is, the poet used the technique of drawing lines, highlighting the characteristics that lime is not afraid of being beaten, not afraid of fire, willing to die, and giving people white powder. But after careful scrutiny, it is not difficult to see the poet's ingenuity-reciting things is actually expressing his will. That is, personification and metonymy are used.
Yu Qian is an official, honest and clean. He was deeply loved by the people for rehabilitating unjust imprisonment and helping the victims. When Ming Yingzong was invaded by Vala, Yingzong was captured. Yu Qian proposed the establishment of Jingdi, and personally led the troops to stick to Beijing, repelling Vara, and making the people get rid of the brutal rule of Mongolian nobles again. However, after the restoration of Yingzong, he falsely killed national heroes on the grounds of "rebellion". This "Song of Lime" can be said to be the life and history of Yu Qian.
