The poem about peony flowers is as follows:

1. In April, when I bring flowers and peony flowers, I don’t know who is worried about the country.

Translation:

It was April, and many dignitaries were transplanting the blooming peonies they bought from outside into their newly expanded gardens. I wonder if there were any among them. Who cares about the national economy and people’s livelihood?

Appreciation:

"In the 14th year of Zhenyuan, there was a drought and powerful families moved their peony flowers" is a poem written by Lu Wenchu, a minister of the Tang Dynasty, when he entered his official career. In response to the incident of "the powerful family removed the peony", this poem denounced the ugly behavior of the aristocratic family who only cared about their own entertainment and did not care about the life and death of the people. It expressed the poet's thoughts and feelings of worrying about the country and the people. The whole poem embodies profound political thoughts in vivid artistic images. The language is fresh, the contrast is sharp, the poetry is implicit, and it is very distinctive.

2. Today, some of the red peony flowers in front of the steps are old and some are new.

Translation:

Among the red peonies in front of the steps today, how many flowers are about to age and how many have just bloomed.

Appreciation:

The poem "Sentiment of Peony Flowers to Zhengyi Shangren" was written by Bai Juyi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, who was inspired by peony flowers and sent it to a monk. The meaning of this poem is that people often argue, be jealous, care about each other, and want to be better than others, but these are actually meaningless. Because in the end everyone is the same, everything ends up in nothing.

3. The affectionate peony contains spring tears, and the powerless rose lies on the dawn branch.

Translation:

The peonies that have experienced the spring rain are full of rain and dew, like a tearful girl full of affection. The rose lies horizontally, as if it is powerless and drooping, which is lovable.

Appreciation:

"Spring Day" has a fresh and graceful charm because of its subtle details and subtle emotions. Although there is no word "sorrow", it can be understood from the mood of peony and rose. It also reflects the poet's sentimental psychology due to his fear of the hardships and dangers of his official career.
