Translations
If you ask how the spring color is in the East Side, I tell you, it is the rainy season of the valley, and the date when the peony blossoms bloom. Imagine the fragrant buds of the day before yesterday, which have recently been deep red and gorgeous, and the red flowers are transparent. Wang Deang is deeply in love for the peony, and asks the beautiful woman of the Guanwa Palace to help him by the willow tree. I saw that their footsteps were light, making a jade plate to undertake the low hanging posture of manna.
When the spring breeze blows, these beautiful women are dressed in luxurious robes, see the colorful clouds rising, pay attention to the fun, indulge in the beautiful scenery, and look back at the swallows and fly. Halfway through the spring, the time is hurried, next to the long pavilion, drink a cup, pillow hay against the residual sun. Even if there are pickled flowers blooming like snow, I can't bear the branches of the peony flowers to wither.

Appreciation
This is a guyu appreciation peony word by the Yuan dynasty poet Wang Yun.
During the rainy season of the valley, peonies bloom vigorously, and the peony flowers are called "valley rain flowers".
"Gu Yu Three Dynasties Look at Peonies", whenever the valley rains, many places have the custom of "admiring peonies during the day and hanging lanterns at night". This is the annual "Peony Flower Fair".
During the rainy season of the valley, look at the peony country color and heavenly fragrance, and the heart is relaxed. Wandering in the peony garden, the fragrance of flowers is rich and refreshing!
On the first and second sentences, ask the East City spring color, the rain in the valley, the peony period. Think of the previous day's fang buds, recently brilliant, red rotten light branches. That said, if you ask how the spring colors are in the East Side, I tell you, it's the rainy season of the valley, and the date when the peonies bloom. Imagine the fragrant buds of the day before yesterday, which have recently been deep red and gorgeous, and the red flowers are transparent.

Three or four sentences, Liu Lang is heavy for flowers, about Liu Bian, Waguan drunk Wu Ji. Luo Sock Ling Bo micro-steps, jade plate bearing dew low hanging. It is said that Wang Deang, for the sake of peony's deep love, asked the willow tree and asked the beautiful woman of the Guanwa Palace to help. I saw that their footsteps were light, making a jade plate to undertake the low hanging posture of manna.
These two sentences explain the reason for the peony appreciation, which is that his friend Wang Deang asked about the "Peony Meeting". However, the lyricist cannot go to the appointment by doing things, but the lyricist still thinks about the situation when he goes to the appointment: the spring is good, the song and dance are happy, and the beauty is beautiful.

The next sentence of the spring wind hundred turns embroidered Luo Wei, saw the clouds flying. I am very intent on chasing after the joy, staying in the situation, looking back at the bad pool.

The last two sentences, half spring short and long pavilion, a cup, through the grass to the oblique. Gui Zhongyu was in the snow, and Yao Wei could not stand the branches. That is to say, halfway through the spring, the time is hurried, next to the long pavilion, drink a cup, pillow hay against the remnants of the sun. Even if there are pickled flowers blooming like snow, I can't bear the branches of the peony flowers to wither.
These two sentences explain the lyricist's love for gu rainy days, his love for peony flowers, and his willingness to drink with them and sleep with them.
