Baike says a bunch of stuff that is presented as discord, but I think all basically is just praising how virtuous the concubine is, with a question about if it's straightforward praise or backhandedly insulting someone?
There's controversy over which lines are attributed to the woman or man. Is it all the woman, with the poet intervening to provide context; the first two lines for stanzas 1 and 2 are the woman and the last stanza is all the woman, with the rest the man; or first two lines of stanzas 1 and 2 and last two lines of stanza 3 are the woman and the rest is the man?

There's a lot of internal rhyme in this poem too
