The problem is that it's even harder to search for a possible poem allusion than the story allusions, especially when we know so little about Taiyang. And I don't think the poem Xiang Taiyang is literally about someone named Taiyang. According to the book I linked, "Xiang Taiyang", or "To The Sun", is a sequel to a previous poem Ai Qing had written simply called "Taiyang", or "The Sun", which he had written immediately upon being released from prison. The excerpt that the book provides from Xiang Taiyang is written in first-person.

As for obscurity of allusions, Yatsuhashi Daichi may allude to Yatsuhashi Kengyo, a Japanese musician and composer who lived from 1614 to 1685. I say this because, when Monty was trying to hint to everyone the name of the Y member of CFVY, he posted over 20 photos of the food yatsuhashi and then one artwork of Yatsuhashi Kengyo.

I can't help but wonder how well-known the Peter Pan sequel Peter Pan in Scarlet is.

You can read The Last Rose of Summer here. It's not actually about a character or anything. It's about the last remaining rose on a bush. The narrator vows not to let the rose go on living alone. It seems, to me, that the narrator cuts or breaks the last rose off of the bush so that it can die and join the rest.
