【Simple Translation】
Pi Rixiu’s music poem is most influenced by Bai Juyi.
The first two lines of the poem are simple and clear. The first two lines start the poem by telling in one sentence that the peony is distinctive and is the advantage of the fallen residual red that no hundred flowers can compete with, which plays an artistic effect of pre-empting the others.
The third and fourth stanzas adopt the expression of the couplet, and the words Wu Shuang and the first two show the peony’s overwhelming beauty.
The poem shows the poet’s talent and self-confidence, using the peony to express his ambition.
