'celery': Artemisia rotundifolia, green leaves, stems like chopsticks and crisp, fragrant and can be eaten raw. Later, Baike's vernacular translation has this as mugwort 'southernwood': celery wormwood 'salsola': a plant similar to celery wormwood. MDBG says Phragmites japonica
'The organ is blown till its tongues are all moving.': the tongue is the reed of this instrument. It's a "free reed wind instrument with vertical bamboo pipes" (from MDBG)
Baike says the theme is hotly debated, but does not really specify the debate? Instead it's a lot of words about how pleasant and cheerful it is
