This means that if pipa is regarded as loquat and can blossom and bear fruit, then all musical instruments such as bamboo flute and flute can blossom and bear fruit.

From the poem "Pipa is not Pipa" written by Shen, a scholar in Ming Dynasty, the original poem is:

Loquat is not this pipa, just because of poor literacy.

If the pipa can blossom and bear fruit, all the pipes in the city will be open.

Vernacular translation:

The word loquat is not the word pipa, but I only blame myself for not studying hard in those years;

If pipa is regarded as loquat and can blossom and bear fruit, then all musical instruments such as bamboo flute and flute can blossom and bear fruit.
