I want to know why my Jinse has fifty strings, each with a flower-like interval. What does it mean?

"I want to know why my Jinse has fifty strings, each with a youthful interval" means: Jinse, why do you have fifty strings? Every string and paragraph reminds people of the year of Huang Jinhua.

Jinse: A beautifully decorated musical instrument. A plucked instrument, usually with 25 strings.

For no reason: why? Words of resentment.

Fifty strings: this is Togu's word. The author meant that Jinse should have been 25 strings.

Li Shangyin's wife died in his later years, so the twenty-five strings were broken and became fifty strings. A broken string means losing a wife, and a second string means remarriage. But in this poem, Li Shangyin is full of nostalgia for his dead wife.
