What does cherry blossom represent?

1. Meaning

Cherry blossoms represent warmth, happiness, nobility, purity, indifference, etc.

Cherry blossom is the national flower of Japan. In Japan, the Cherry Blossom Festival is held from March 15th to April 15th every year. In fact, its flowering period is generally only 3-5 days, and it chooses to wither when it is at its most glorious. This is the so-called spirit of cherry blossoms, and it is also the Japanese people's cherry blossom complex.

2. Legend

According to legend, cherry blossoms were originally only white. A brave warrior committed suicide by disemboweling himself under his beloved cherry tree because he felt that he had reached his most glorious moment, so he ended his own life. So blood flowed like a river at that time, and the cherry blossoms turned red from then on. Therefore, the redder the petals are, the more dead souls there are.
