Appreciation of the charm of Chinese ancient poetry Thirteen

石灰吟 SONG TO THE LIME
于谦 Yu Qian
千槌万凿出深山，You come out of deep mountains after hammer blows;
烈火焚烧若等闲。Under fire and water tortures you are not in woes.
粉身碎骨浑不怕，Though broken into pieces, you will have no fright;
要留清白在人间。You’ll purify the world by washing it e’er white.
