Translation:

Bai Juyi writes profound and accurate articles, but what he is best at is writing poems. At the beginning, he used poetry to persuade political gains and losses. After writing too much, it was loved by the lower class, so that several articles were circulated by scholars at that time. The merchants in Silla in ancient times sold Bai Juyi's poems to the ministers of their country, and the ministers of their country could identify them newly. At the beginning, he was with Yuan Zhen. After Yuan Zhen's death, like Liu Yuxi, he was named "Bai Liu". He was born seven months ago and can open a book. Although he can't speak, he can recognize the words "Zhi" and "Wu" with his fingers. Even if he is tested hundreds of times, he won't make mistakes. At the age of nine, he became familiar with temperament. He is good at writing, probably because of his talent. Later, he became a prime minister in Fujian and became Bai Juyi.
