Bark is purple-brown, smooth and shiny, with horizontal stripes. Flowers alternate with leaves, ovoid or obovate-elliptic, with awn teeth on the edge, sharp and glandular apex, dark green shiny surface and slightly pale back. Stipules are needle-shaped, with serrated edges and glands at the crack end. Each branch has three to five flowers, which are umbrella-shaped, the sepals are horizontally spread, and the petals are notched, white and red. March flowers bloom with the leaves open or behind them. The nucleus is spherical, red at first, then purple-brown, and mature in July. Classification of families and genera: Plant phylum: angiosperm: dicotyledonous plant: Rosaceae: Rosaceae: Ulmaceae: Prunus mume; Japanese name: サクラ/English name: Sakura; Spanish name: cherry alias: cherry blossom, Fukushima. It belongs to Rosaceae, a deciduous tree. Bark is purple-brown, smooth and shiny, with horizontal stripes. Flowers alternate with leaves, ovoid or obovate-elliptic, with awn teeth on the edge, sharp and glandular apex, dark green shiny surface and slightly pale back. Stipules are needle-shaped, with serrated edges and glands at the crack end. Each branch has three to five flowers, which are umbrella-shaped, the sepals are horizontally spread, and the petals are notched, white and red. March flowers bloom with the leaves open or behind them. The nucleus is spherical, red at first, then purple-brown, and mature in July. It is the national flower of Japan. Its origin and distribution are mainly in the temperate Himalayan region of the northern hemisphere, including northern India, the Yangtze River valley of China, Taiwan Province Province of China, Korea and Japan. It is the most abundant in the mountainous areas in southwest China and cultivated in all parts of North China. It is cultivated all over the world, among which Japanese cherry blossoms are the most famous, with more than 200 varieties. Therefore, Japan is called "the country of cherry blossoms". Cherry blossoms like sunshine, the climate is warm and humid, and the requirements for soil are not strict. Deep and fertile sandy loam grows best with shallow roots, and has weak resistance to smoke, harmful gases and tidal winds. Saline-alkali tolerant soil. The root system is shallow, avoiding stagnant water and low-lying land. It has certain cold tolerance and drought tolerance, but it is weak in smoke resistance and wind resistance. Cherry blossoms are extremely beautiful. When it is in full bloom, trees are everywhere, like clouds and clouds. They are famous ornamental flowers and trees, which bloom in early spring. Cherry blossoms are deeply loved by the Japanese people and are widely planted in Japan. Together with the chrysanthemum symbolizing the royal family, it was designated as the national flower of Japan. Yoshinoyama in Nara Prefecture is the most famous cherry blossom spot, so it is known as "Yoshino Thousand Sakura". The flowering period of Japanese cherry blossoms is about 50 days, but it only takes seven to ten days from flowering to withering in each area. There are many kinds of cherry blossoms, so the color is not pure pink, and the corresponding flower color is the same. Cherry blossom viewing in spring is one of the traditional customs in Japan. Japan Meteorological Agency publishes the forecast of cherry blossom date every year, which is the "front line of cherry blossom". Japanese cherry blossoms are mostly divided into horticultural species and wild species, among which the famous ones are Sakura Sakura, Hejin Sakura, Rain Sakura, Yoshino Sakura Sakura, Oshima Sakura, Hanfei Sakura, Daisy Sakura, and a series of 20%-fold sakura (such as Eight-leaf Sakura, Nara Eight-leaf Sakura, Red-leaf Sakura, Eight-leaf Sakura, etc.). Among them, the most common unspoiled cherry blossoms in Yoshino Sakura account for about 80% of Japanese cherry blossoms, and some are Most cherry blossoms in Japan are open from late March to early April, but in recent years, due to global warming, the opening time of cherry blossoms has been advanced. Moreover, the warming of the Pacific Ocean has also caused the flowers to be blown away by the wind after flowering. It has greatly shortened the time for citizens to enjoy cherry blossoms. It belongs to the common species 1, namely alfalfa. Its dry skin is dark gray, the leaves are oval, the apex is gradually pointed or the tail is pointed, the edge has awn-shaped fine-pointed double serrations, the teeth are glandular, and there are two glands at the upper end of the petiole. The stipules are strip-shaped, with multi-petal, white, pink or rose-red flowers, and the drupe is spherical with a diameter of about 65438. ② Pink Japanese cherry, double, medium pink. 2. Sawtooth leafhopper, also known as green cherry. Dry skin is millet-colored, leaves are elliptic and lanceolate, the apex is often tail-shaped, the edge is tapered with single or double serrations, the teeth have glandular spines, the surface of leaves is light green and smooth, the back is slightly covered with white powder, with midvein hairs, and young leaves are often brown. Petiole has 2-4 glands, single or double flowers, white or pink, oval fruit, black when mature. It is a native species of China, mostly wild in mountainous areas of North China. Rapid growth, strong germination ability, smoke resistance, often used as the rootstock of cherry, its nucleolus can be used as medicine. Morphological characteristics: the crown is oval to round, with alternate leaves and glandular serrations. Single branches or 3-6 clusters of flowers are umbrella-shaped or corymbose inflorescences, which are produced at the same time as leaves or bloom after leaves, and the calyx tube is bell-shaped or tubular. Most cultivated varieties are double petals. The fruit is red or black and ripens in May-June. Growth habits like sunshine and warm and humid climate, and the requirements for soil are not strict, but loose and fertile sandy soil with good drainage grows best and is intolerant of saline-alkali land. The root system is shallow, avoiding stagnant water and low-lying land. It has certain cold tolerance and drought tolerance, but it is weak in smoke resistance and wind resistance. Common cultivated tree species are 1, Pterocarya stenoptera and deciduous trees. About 5-25 meters high. The bark is dark chestnut brown, smooth and shiny, with horizontal stripes. Branchlets glabrous. The leaves are ovoid to ovoid-elliptic, with awn semi-mature teeth on the edge and no hair on both sides. Corymbose or raceme with white or pink flowers. The diameter is 2.5-4cm, and the flowering period is April-May. Prismatic fruit is spherical, black and ripe in July. 2. Japanese late cherry (P.lannesiana), about 10 m high, with light gray bark. Leaves obovate, with long awn teeth on the edge; Single or double flowers, drooping, pink or nearly white, fragrant, 2-5 in clusters, flowering in April. 3. Japanese early cherry (P.subhirtella) is a small tree, about 5m high, with striped bark and older bark. Branchlets brown, leaves obovate to ovate-lanceolate. Pink flowers, 2-2.5 cm in diameter, 2-5 umbels, which bloom first and then leave in spring. 4. Korean pine, height 12-20m, brown bark, purplish brown branchlets and oval leaves. Pink flowers, 2-4 in a cluster, 3-5 cm in diameter, flowering in March-April. 5. Sakura yunnanensis, about10m high, with brown bark, purplish brown branchlets, oval or obovate leaves and heavy teeth. Flowers pink to deep red, 2-5 in a cluster, flowering in February-March. 6. It is about 25 meters high, with light brown bark, green branchlets, long oval to lanceolate leaves and pink flowers. The flowering period is from 65438+ 10 to 65438+ 10 in the following year. 7, Sakura: more wild, small flowers, single petals, white or pink, pedicels and flowers hairless. 8. Hairy cherry: The shape is basically the same as that of hairy cherry, but the leaves, stalks and flowers are hairy. 9. Re-distinguish white cherry blossoms: white flowers with double petals are the main cultivated varieties. 10, double red cherry blossom: pink, double. 1 1, red and white cherry blossoms: light red flowers, double petals. 12, magnificent cherry blossoms: the flowers are reddish, the petals are straight, the flowers are large and the pedicels are long. 13, drooping cherry blossoms: pink flowers, double petals, open and drooping branches. The main breeding methods are sowing, cutting and grafting. Cherry blossoms are propagated by sowing. Be careful not to dry the seeds. They should be planted in the harvest season or the following spring after wet sand accumulates. Grafting propagation can use cherry and mountain cherry seedlings as rootstocks. Cutting in late March or budding in late August can be cultivated for 3-4 years after grafting, and can be planted after leaving the nursery. When planting, apply decomposed compost 1.5 kg -25 kg to each pit, and apply ammonium sulfate 1 kg -2 kg to each plant in July. After flowering in early spring and before germination, cut off dead branches, weak branches and long branches, try to avoid pruning thick branches and keep the crown intact. Cultivation and management 1. Soil requirements and improvement measures Cherry blossoms grow well in sandy loam and clayey loam with more humus (pH5.5-6.5). In places with heavy soil in the south, humus soil (collected from leaves, acid soil, chicken manure and carbon powder retting) is generally mixed. Note that all the original clay blocks must be broken before mixing, otherwise it will not improve the soil. Where the groundwater level is lower than 1 m, the high planting method is adopted, that is, after the whole planting hole is leveled, soil is piled on it to plant seedlings. In the northern alkaline soil, it is necessary to apply sulfur powder or ferrous sulfate to adjust the pH value to about 6. Apply 2 grams of sulfur powder per square meter, valid for 1 to 2 years, and measure it once a year, so that the pH value does not exceed 7. Plum blossom, Inoue Yoshino and other varieties have straight trunks and large trees, which belong to strong positive trees and need shelter from the wind, sunshine, ventilation and light transmission. When planting in pieces, every tree should receive sunlight. 2. Planting measures The planting time is carried out immediately after the soil is thawed in early spring, usually in February and March. Prepare the soil carefully before planting. Planting in the flat land can dig a pit with a diameter of 1 m and a depth of 0.8 m. First, fill the pit with improved soil for about half a depth, and put the seedlings in the center of the pit so that the roots of the seedlings extend in all directions. After filling a small amount of soil, lift the seedlings slightly upward to fully extend the roots, and then tread lightly. The depth of planting seedlings should be 5 cm from the ground. After planting, make a water hole, fully irrigate it, and finally support it with bamboo pieces almost as high as the seedlings to prevent the wind from blowing down. 3. Management measures to prevent drought: After sowing, seedlings are vulnerable to drought. During the planting period, in addition to adequate irrigation, irrigation should be done once every 8 ~ 10 days to keep the soil moist and free from water accumulation. Loosen the soil in time after irrigation, and it is best to cover the surface with grass to reduce water evaporation. In 2 to 3 years after planting, in order to prevent the trunk from drying up, it can be wrapped with straw. But after two to three years, the seedlings grow new roots and their adaptability to the environment is gradually enhanced, so there is no need to wrap grass. Growth period management: apply fertilizer to cherry blossoms twice a year, with acid fertilizer as the best. One is winter fertilizer, and organic fertilizers such as bean cake, chicken manure and decomposed fertilizer are applied in winter or early spring; On another occasion, quick-acting fertilizers such as ammonium sulfate, ferrous sulfate and calcium superphosphate were applied after flowering. Generally, the fertilization method of cherry trees can be adopted, that is, an annular ditch with a depth of about 10 cm is dug at the edge of the crown: orthogonal projection line, and fertilization is carried out. This method is not only simple, but also beneficial to root absorption. In the future, with the growth of trees, the diameter and depth of the annular groove for fertilization will also increase. Cherry blossoms have shallow roots and need good drainage and ventilation. Therefore, it is forbidden for people, livestock and cars to stabilize the soil around trees, especially within the distribution range of roots. Pedestrian trampling will weaken the tree, shorten its life, and even lead to rotten roots and death. Pruning and maintenance: Pruning is mainly to cut off dead branches, trailing branches, overlapping branches and pests and diseases. In addition, when many branches grow on the trunk of the big cherry tree, some robust branches should be kept and the rest should be cut off from the base to facilitate ventilation and light transmission. The pruned branches should be disinfected with drugs in time to prevent bacteria from invading after rain and causing rot. After a long period of sun exposure, the bark of cherry blossoms is easy to age and damage, causing rot, so it should be removed and disinfected in time. After that, the rotten part was wrapped with humus and carbon powder to promote its normal physiological function. 4. Problems needing attention in planting cherry blossoms 1. Cherry blossoms can grow in sand and soil. If the water level is lower than 1 m, it is better to plant it higher. It is better to pad the planted hole and then pile soil seedlings on it. Cherry trees are big. They like sunshine and are afraid of wind. Cherry blossoms are planted in early spring, usually from February to March. Second, the planting method of cherry blossoms should level the ground before planting. You can dig a pit with a diameter of 0.8 meters and a depth of 0.6 meters. First, fill the pit with 10 cm organic fertilizer, and put the seedlings in into the pit to make the roots of the seedlings extend around. After the cherry blossoms are filled with soil, it is practical to lift the seedlings upward to spread the roots. The planting depth is about 5 cm from the upper layer of seedling roots. After planting, water it, fully irrigate it, and put it up with a stick to prevent the strong wind from blowing down. Cherry blossom diseases and insect pests and their control should mainly control gummosis, nodule disease, aphids, red spiders, scale insects and other pests. Gummosis is caused by moths drilling into tree trunks to lay eggs. We can dig out eggs with sharp knives, improve soil and strengthen water and fertilizer management. Nodular nodule disease will cause the roots of diseased trees to fail to grow normally, and the trees are still not strong no matter how fertilized. Tumor should be removed in time, soil should be disinfected, and humus soil, charcoal powder and microorganisms should be used to improve the soil. For aphids, red spiders, scale insects and other pests, prevention should be given priority to, spraying drugs 3 ~ 4 times a year, the first time before flowering, the second time after flowering, and the third time in July and August. There are many kinds of diseases and insect pests of cherry blossoms, and the common diseases and insect pests are described as follows: 1. Puncture brown spots occurred in May and June, and purplish brown spots appeared on the leaves, and then gradually expanded into a circle. The diseased spots become pores after drying and shrinking, and most of the germs overwinter on the diseased leaves. The optimum temperature for development is 2 5℃ to 28℃, and the rainy season is conducive to infection and disease, with weak tree potential, poor drainage and poor ventilation. Control methods: (1) Strengthen cultivation management, prune reasonably, pay attention to pruning diseased branches, clean diseased leaves in time and burn them to create clean growth conditions for plants. (2) The sulfur mixture with 3-5 Baume can be sprayed before the new buds germinate, and 1.60 times Bordeaux solution or 1.000-2.000 times 50% wettable powder or 1.05% zineb solution can be sprayed during the onset period. Second, leaf blight in summer, yellow-green circular spots appear on the leaves, and then turn brown, scattered in black spots, and the diseased leaves die but do not fall off. Control method: (1) Remove diseased leaves, burn them, and spray Bordeaux solution before germination. (2) Spraying 500 times of 65% zineb wettable powder from May to June, once every 7- 10 days and 2-3 times. 3. Root cancer mainly occurs at the base of the trunk, sometimes at the root neck or lateral roots. Tumors are produced in the affected area, which are milky white or flesh-colored, and gradually become brown or dark brown, round and spherical, with rough and uneven surface and cracks. After infection, the root system is underdeveloped, the fine roots are few, the ground growth is slow, the tree is weak, and even the whole plant dies. Control method: (1) The seedlings infected with root cancer must be destroyed centrally. Before planting seedlings, it is best to soak them in 1% copper sulfate for 5 ~ 10 minutes, and then rinse them with clear water before planting. (2) If a diseased plant is found, the cancer and its surrounding tissues can be completely removed with a knife saw. (3) The soil around the diseased plant can also be disinfected by spraying sulfur powder at a dose of 50g/m2 to100g. At the same time pay attention to soil improvement. Cherry blossom is an important ornamental tree species in early spring, with rich fragrance and bright colors. It is often used for garden viewing and group planting, and can also be planted on hillsides, courtyards, roadsides and in front of buildings. When it is in full bloom, the flowers are many and gorgeous, and the trees are full of brilliance, like clouds, which is extremely spectacular. It can be planted in a large area to create a "flower sea" landscape. It can be decorated with 35-35 clusters in the green space to form a brocade group, or it can be planted alone to form the painting meaning of "a little red among the evergreen trees". Cherry blossoms can also be used as street trees, hedges or bonsai. In addition, bark and fresh young leaves can be used medicinally. Some people in Japan grind cherry blossom petals into nectar to make jam and seasoning. The earliest traces of cherry blossoms originated in the Himalayas (reference:
Sakura Sword). Since then, this species has been introduced into northern India, Yangtze River valley in China, southwest China, Taiwan Province Province, South Korea and Japan. These areas, especially Japan, have become relatively independent places for the development of cherry blossom varieties. Because Japanese cherry blossoms are famous and have cultivated the best varieties in the world, cherry blossoms refer to Japanese cherry blossoms or cherry blossom varieties with Japanese characteristics to a certain extent. According to the Cherry Blossom Mirror, Japanese cherry blossoms first came from the Himalayas in China. The spread of cherry blossoms is as radioactive as all living things. Yunnan, close to the Himalayan region, is one of the earliest beneficiary areas. Yunnan cherry blossoms are also famous. This leads to another Japanese legend that the ancestors of Japanese cherry blossoms were brought back from Yunnan by monks, just as some Japanese insist that their ancestors are Yunnan Bai people. However, cherry blossoms spread from the Himalayas to Japan, which is more credible. "Sakura Dajian" also said that after Himalayan cherry blossoms were introduced to Japan, with careful cultivation, Japan's varieties continued to increase and became a rich cherry blossom family. After becoming the national flower of Japan, it has been nurtured and cultivated, and there are more ornamental varieties. However, some cherry blossoms originated in Himalaya still grow in Japan, such as Joe and Fei. Yunnan cherry blossoms and Japanese cherry blossoms belong to the same genus. It evolved from the original bitter cherry in Tengchong and Longling, and is a variety. Flowers change from single to double, and the color changes from light pink to dark pink. This color is the difference from the highly appreciated Japanese cherry blossoms. The flowers of Japanese cherry blossoms are mostly pale pink. This is also related to the fact that the name Sakura is not recorded in China ancient books. Because the shapes of cherry blossoms and cherries are very similar, the ancient descriptions are rather vague, and the ancient cherry blossoms are not as well known as other famous flowers, but they can still be found in ancient books. Bai Juyi's poem "A new cherry tree is planted in a small garden, so you can swim around the flowers" describes the scene of cherry blossoms in full bloom. Cherry blossoms are mentioned in Yu Ruoying's poems in the Ming Dynasty: "The rain is thin in March, and cherry blossoms are suspected of apricot blossoms." It has been found that cherry blossoms have existed in northern India since ancient times. Cherry blossom variety 1, and cold cherry blossoms with small flowers and reddish petals. If the climate is warmer, cherry blossoms will bloom around mid-June 1, so it is called Rehai Sakura, presumably a mixture of cold Sakura and mountain Sakura. 2.

It is speculated that it should be a hybrid of Hanfei Sakura and Oshima Sakura. 5. Oshima Sakura has a large flower with a single white petal. Growing in Izu Island and Fangzong Peninsula, it is a wild cherry blossom with strong sea breeze. Cherry leaves used in cherry cake are the leaves of this kind of cherry blossoms. 6. Daisy cherry blossoms are very small, like white chrysanthemum petals, and grow in the Odin cherry system of Miyahiko Shrine in Niigata Prefecture. There are more than 100 kinds of petals, which are precious and rare. 7. Plum blossoms have medium-sized flowers, white to reddish, and are representative wild cherry blossoms that have been loved since ancient times. The colors of new buds blooming with flowers are very diverse, which makes the scenery in Shan Ye more beautiful. 8. American cherry blossoms are medium in size, red and single. This is a variety cultivated with Yoshino seeds in the United States. Originally known as Shu, it was renamed its present name because there were already cherry blossoms of the same name in Japan. 9. There are many beads hanging in Hu Mei Temple, like pink chrysanthemum petals. Legendary cherry blossoms related to relatives in Lu 'an and cherry trees growing in Hu Mei Temple in Jinglai Village, Niigata County have been designated as national natural relics. 10. The flowers of Dahan Sakura are medium-sized, red and single. It grows in Anxing, Qiyu County, also known as Anxing Mimosa, and blooms about a week earlier than Yanjing Yoshino. 1 1. The cherry blossoms in Liu Ban Garden are very big, like pink chrysanthemum petals. The cherry blossoms growing in Kanazawa Liu Ban Garden have more than 300 petals. Cherry blossoms in October are medium-sized, reddish and multi-layered. They bloom from about 10, and then bloom in the next spring, with 2 flowers a year. 13. The flower size of Nara Bachongsakura is medium-sized, reddish, with multiple petals, belonging to Xia Ying.

This kind of cherry blossom has a long life. It is speculated that Brendan Sakura (Wuchuan Village) in Yamanashi Prefecture and Modan Sakura (Genwei Village, Qibu County) in Genwei Valley have lived for more than 1000 years. 15. In winter, cherry blossoms are medium-flowered, with a single white petal, and bloom twice a year (spring and autumn). A considerable number of cherry blossoms are planted in Sakura Mountain Park in Shi Gui Town, Gunma County, among which "Winter Cherry Blossoms in Sanbochuan" is the most famous. 16.

The flowers in Guanshan Mountain are big, crimson and have multiple petals. The representative varieties of Bachongying are also widely planted in Europe and America. In addition, the salt petals of this cherry blossom are also used in cherry blossom soup. Why are cherry blossoms the national flower of Japan? It is designated as the national flower because it is a symbol of love and hope. According to legend, a long time ago, there was a Japanese fairy named "Hua Mu Ji Ye" (meaning cherry blossom). On June 5438+065438+ 10, the fairy set off from Okinawa, passing through Kyushu, Kansai and Kanto, and arrived in Hokkaido in May of the following year. Along the way, she planted a flower symbolizing love and hope in every corner. In memory of this fairy, the local people named this flower "Sakura", and Japan became "the country of Sakura". Cherry blossoms are warm, pure and noble. After the severe winter, they first brought the breath of spring to the Japanese people. The Japanese government has designated March 15 to April 15 as the "Cherry Blossom Festival" every year. In this flower viewing season, people bring their relatives, invite friends, sit on the floor under the cherry trees with wine and vegetables, and enjoy the cherry blossoms while drinking. It is really a great pleasure in life. Cherry blossoms have a history of 1000 years in Japan. In Nara period (7 10-794), when it comes to flowers, it means plum blossom. In Heian period (794- 1 192), cherry blossoms became the leading role, and there were five times more songs about cherry blossoms than Yongmei flowers. And there have been cherry blossom viewing activities in Japan for a long time. In the 7th century, Emperor Zhi Zhi was particularly fond of cherry blossoms and visited yoshinoyama in Nara many times. In addition, it is said that the first cherry blossom viewing conference in Japanese history was held under the auspices of Emperor Emei in the 9th century. At first, cherry blossom viewing was only popular among dignitaries, and it didn't spread to ordinary people until the Edo period (1603- 1867), forming a traditional folk custom. Cherry blossoms have a short life span. There is a folk proverb in Japan that says: "Cherry blossoms last for seven days", that is, it takes about seven days for a cherry blossom to bloom and wither, and about 16 days for a whole cherry tree to bloom and wither, which forms the characteristics of cherry blossoms blooming and falling. It is this feature that makes cherry blossoms so attractive. Being honored as the national flower is not only because of its charm and charm, but more importantly, its "heroic" withering after its brief glory. If you want to ask the soul of Yamato, look at the cherry blossoms in the morning sun. "Japanese people think that life is short, live as brightly as cherry blossoms, and leave decisively even if you die. When the cherry blossoms fall, they are spotless and crisp, and are honored as the Japanese spirit. Sakura is the most popular flower variety in Japan. Snow-like cherry blossoms symbolize the gorgeous and short-lived aesthetic of Japanese Bushido. In Japanese, "cherry blossom time" refers to the season when cherry blossoms are in full bloom, that is, spring. When cherry blossoms are in full bloom in spring, go to the most splendid place of cherry blossoms, while eating sushi and drinking Japanese wine, while intoxicated by the flying "flowers blowing snow?" はなふぶき) is the most important thing for Japanese people in a year. Enjoy cherry blossoms and write "Flower Room" in Japanese. Huajian is a unique way to enjoy flowers in Japan. Whenever the cherry blossom season begins in spring, people gather in cherry blossom viewing places all over the country and sit under pink and white trees. Everyone cheered and sang, laughed and laughed about spring, and captured the splendid spring. With such an original Yamato style, the word "Huajian" is even accepted as an English proper noun, meaning a Japanese cherry blossom feast. Japanese people have enjoyed cherry blossoms for a long time, and it is generally believed that it originated from the cherry blossom banquet held in heian period Palace. In the third year of Qing Dynasty (1598), Toyotomi Hideyoshi held a flower viewing party at Daiguo Temple in Kyoto on March 15, which was unprecedented and famous in history. However, Hua Jian became a Japanese civilian in the middle of the year after the Edo era. Japanese cherry blossoms are in full bloom in April, and cherry trees can be seen everywhere in parks and streets, making bonsai-like Japan more beautiful. As the national flower of Japan, cherry blossoms are deeply loved by Japanese and tourists. At present, there are more than 300 kinds of cherry blossoms in Japan. Cherry blossoms bloom in April, from south to north in turn. The earliest cherry blossoms can be seen in Okinawa, and the latest cherry blossoms are Hokkaido, the coldest place in Japan. The flowering period of cherry blossoms is not long, and the blooming time is usually 10 day, just like a pink cloud drifting across Japan from south to north. When cherry blossoms are in full bloom, you can smell faint flowers and enjoy red, pink and white cherry blossoms at the flower viewing places in parks and streets. At this time, large and small "cherry blossom festivals" will be held all over Japan. Relatives and friends will sit around the cherry trees, take out lunch boxes, drink champagne or sake, talk and laugh, and the petals will drift with the breeze from time to time. People who appreciate flowers, whether they know them or not, will nod their heads from time to time and even exchange food. It is not so much a flower viewing as a real "family day" and "friendship day". It is no wonder that the Japanese enjoy it, and some companies even list cherry blossom viewing as their "designated project". In Japan, the most distinctive place to enjoy cherry blossoms is Hakone-CHO. In this scenic tourist resort, you can not only enjoy cherry blossoms while soaking in hot springs, but also overlook the quiet and beautiful Mount Fuji. Hakone-CHO, located 90 kilometers west of Tokyo, is one of the most representative tourist attractions in Japan, surrounded by peaks. As early as 400,000 years ago, Hakone-machiyama, a conical volcano similar to Mount Fuji, was formed. Later, due to the subsidence of the central part, a large volcanic vent was formed, and the water in the crater formed a deer lake with bright eyes and white teeth. Now in the center of Hakone-machiyama, visitors can still see the scenery of steam and sulfur smoke. As a national park designated by Japan, Hakone-CHO still has many places of interest worth visiting. In April, when spring comes to Hakone-CHO, cherry blossoms bloom from the foothills, slopes and tops of Hakone-CHO. Due to the long flowering period, tourists can enjoy cherry blossoms for a long time. The steaming, smoky Japanese open-air hot springs and antique Japanese small hotels everywhere in Hakone Town attract a large number of tourists to visit here every year. In the spring of Japan, from Kyushu in early March to Hokkaido in mid-May, wherever this "cherry blossom front" advances, the cherry blossoms spread in turn, and the lively cherry blossom banquet spread from south to north. It only takes three to five days for cherry blossoms to bloom and wither. Once it rains, the brilliant cherry blossoms may come to an end the next day. Although the flowering period is short, the Japanese will still hold a banquet to celebrate, just like a happy cherry blossom carnival. The flower language of cherry blossoms symbolizes such a meaning: warmth, purity and nobility. Flower language: Life and happiness will never leave. I only love you all my life. The law of fate is to circulate the cherry blossoms in the mountains: smile at you and be beautiful in spirit. Western cherry blossoms: kind education. Winter cherry blossoms: oriental mysterious double cherry blossoms: quiet cherry blossoms: youthful mountain cherry blossoms: pure/noble/faint cherry blossoms are warm, pure and noble. The law representing fate is cycle. After the severe winter, it first brought the breath of spring to the Japanese people. March 15 to April 15 every year is the "cherry blossom festival" in Japan. The Japanese believe that life is too short, to live as brightly as cherry blossoms, and to leave decisively even if you die. Cherry blossoms fall clean and crisp, and are regarded as a symbol of Japanese spirit [1]. Cherry blossom flower language: life supplements the words of mountain cherry blossoms: flower language means "smile at you" and "spiritual beauty" The flower language of western cherry blossoms means "cordial education" Cherry blossoms are warm, pure and noble. After the severe winter, they first brought the breath of spring to the Japanese people. March 15 to April 15 every year is the "cherry blossom festival" in Japan. When I was in bloom, people sat on the floor under the cherry trees with wine and vegetables, and drank while enjoying the cherry blossoms. It was really a great pleasure in life. " Ask the soul of Yamato and watch the cherry blossoms at sunrise. " The Japanese believe that life is too short, to live as brightly as cherry blossoms, and to leave decisively even if you die. Cherry blossoms are clean and crisp when they fall, which is regarded as a symbol of Japanese spirit. Japanese people not only like cherry blossoms, but also eat them. Their cherry blossom ice cream tastes special.
