Cherry blossoms are in full bloom in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan. Why are Japanese cherry blossoms so famous?

The flower language of cherry blossoms is noble, and cherry blossoms are the embodiment of beauty and wisdom. Every year in late March and early April, the cherry blossom season is the most prosperous scenery and event in Japan.

There is a saying that "shine on you is better than blue". Japanese cherry blossoms are really beautiful. Just as Buddhism flourished in East Asia, South Asia, as the source of Buddhism, was quite withered. There are more than 300 kinds of cherry blossoms, of which about 150 are wild, and more than 50 kinds are native to China. Of the 40 kinds of cherry blossoms in the world, 33 are native to China. According to the historical records of China and Japan, cherry blossoms were introduced into Japan from China, but it does not mean that Japanese cherry blossoms were introduced from China.

About 2,000 years ago, cherry blossoms were planted in the court of China during the Qin and Han Dynasties. During the Tang Dynasty, private courtyards were also widely planted. Japan respected the culture of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and brought cherry blossoms back to Japan together with tea ceremony, flower path and Buddhism. The Japanese crossed China Sakura with Oshima Sakura and other native Japanese varieties, and gradually formed today's "Japanese Sakura".

China has a vast territory, rich resources and lush flowers and plants. Peony, chrysanthemum, orchid, plum blossom and other flowers are all famous. Cherry blossoms have a short flowering period and no fragrance. The ornamental cherry blossoms originating in China are not very beautiful. Such short-lived, tasteless, apricot-like cherry blossoms have naturally not been taken seriously.

On the contrary, in Japan, unlucky cherry blossoms are sought after and combined with the spirit of Bushido. In addition, the Japanese have cultivated a large number of the best cherry blossom varieties in the world. With the rise of modern Japan, Japanese cherry blossoms gradually spread all over the world. In addition to Japan, the cherry blossoms in Wuhan, China, Nanjing, Beijing and Washington, USA are all Japanese.

Finally, I think sometimes "small but refined", such as Korean cuisine and Japanese cherry blossoms, can concentrate on doing it because there are few varieties. There are too many flowers to choose from in China, and there are many candidate varieties of Guangguohua. If every item is true, it won't take too much effort.
