Who knows the poetry of Yu Qian s Lime Yin ?

This is a poem of words. The author uses lime as a metaphor to express his loyalty to the country, his willingness not to be afraid of sacrifice and his determination to adhere to noble sentiments.

As a poetic poem, if it is only a mechanical record of things and does not convey the author's deep meaning, it will not have much value. The value of this poem lies in the self-metaphor of lime everywhere, and the lime is to sing about his own upright bosom and noble personality.

The first sentence "a thousand hammers carved out of the deep mountains" describes how difficult it is to mine limestone. The second sentence "the fire burns as if it is idle". "Burning with fire" means, of course, the smelting of limestone.

The addition of the word "if you are idle" makes people feel that they are not only writing about smelting limestone, but also seems to symbolize that no matter what severe test they face, they are calm and unhurried. The third sentence is "I am not afraid of broken bones". "Broken bones" vividly depicts the burning of limestone into lime powder, and the words "not afraid at all" remind us that it may contain the spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice.

As for the last sentence "to leave innocence in the world", the author is expressing his feelings directly, determined to be a pure and innocent person.

Yu Qian is an honest and honest official, who has rehabilitated unjust prisons, provided disaster relief and famine relief, and is deeply loved by the people. During the reign of Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, Wara invaded and Yingzong was captured. Yu Qian proposed to establish Emperor Jing, personally led his troops to defend Beijing, repelled Wara, and saved the people from another barbaric rule by the Mongol nobles.

However, after the restoration of Yingzong, he falsely killed this national hero for "treason". This "Lime Yin" can be said to be a true portrayal of Yu Qian's life and personality.

The stones that have been quarryed out of the mountains after many hammers and chiseled are not uncommon to the burning of the fire. As long as you can leave your innocence in the world, you are not afraid of broken bones. The whole poem shows the noble sentiment of the poet who is not afraid of hardships and dangers, is not afraid of sacrifice, and is innocent on the road of life.

Background of creation. Yu Qian studied hard since he was a child and had great ambitions. Legend has it that one day, he walked to a lime kiln, and the master was calcining the lime. I saw piles of blue-black mountain rocks, all of which turned into white lime after being burned by the raging fire.

He was deeply moved, and after a little thought, he wrote this poem. It is said that Yu Qian was only twelve years old at this time, and he wrote this poem not only as a portrayal of the lime image, but also as his future life pursuit.
