The cultural status of cherry blossoms

Japan's Cherry Blossom Culture

Japan is known as the country of cherry blossoms. I believe everyone can understand that cherry blossoms have a very high status in Japan, but cherry blossoms are not the national flower of Japan.

Cherry blossoms are called the flower of the samurai or the flower of death in Japan. Because cherry blossoms always wither when they are in full bloom, they are used to represent that one is willing to sacrifice even death for a moment of brilliance. Therefore, in Japan, most people from the underworld or samurai families plant cherry blossoms at home, because some people say that cherry blossoms are the flowers of death, so it is unlucky to keep them at home.

However, cherry blossoms are the national spirit promoted by Japan and the pride of the Japanese nation.

The status of cherry blossoms among the people

Among the people, people's love for cherry blossoms has a long history. It is said that a long time ago, there was a beautiful girl named Konohanasakuyahime who traveled all over Japan and scattered cherry tree seeds. Later, cherry blossoms bloomed all over Japan. This mainly shows that cherry blossoms have a long history in Japan and people love them very much.

Every year when the cherry blossoms are in bloom, there is a special cherry blossom viewing festival - Hanami. This is a very important event, and there will be flower banquets, flower dances, cocktail parties, etc. It is very lively.

Cherry blossoms are associated with life

In addition to the Cherry Blossom Festival, cherry blossoms are also related to people's lives. They are a symbol of diligence and bravery, and are also reflected in production and life. The blooming of flowers indicates spring sowing, and its flowers, leaves, and branches are relatively common materials. Therefore, cherry blossoms are still a very useful flower in growth, so it is a very important flower.
