Creation background
Yu Qian studied hard since childhood and was ambitious. Legend has it that 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 after a little thinking, he sang the well-known poem Ode to Lyme. Therefore, this poem written by Yu Qian at the age of 12 is not only a portrayal of lime image, but also his pursuit of life.

This is a poem that expresses one's feelings by holding things. If it is only a mechanical record of things without the deep meaning of the author, it is of little value. The value of this poem lies in the metaphor that lime is everywhere, and reciting lime is to praise a person's open mind and lofty personality.
The first sentence, "It's not easy to dig limestone". The second sentence is "If the fire burns, it will be idle." "Burning", of course, refers to burning limestone. Adding the word "if you are idle" makes people feel that you are not only burning limestone, but also seems to symbolize that people with lofty ideals will take their time and regard it as idle no matter how severe the test is. The third sentence is "I am not afraid of death." "Broken to Pieces" vividly describes that limestone is burned into lime powder. The word "not afraid at all" reminds us that there may be a spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice. As for the last sentence "keep the world innocent", it is the author's sincere feelings and determination to be a pure and innocent person. The author Yu Qian is an honest and clean official.
