Excerpted from the Internet-The Great Construction of Cherry Blossoms 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.
As for the common article that China cherry blossoms come from Japan, it is actually a mistake. This is also related to the fact that the name Sakura is not recorded much in China classics. 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." However, Japanese cherry blossom cultivation is particularly prosperous, and its reputation has overshadowed that of China, so it gave rise to the original illusion.
This reminds people of a digression. China is a big country in horticulture and flowers. In today's world
More than 85% of flowers are native to China. Peony, Rhododendron, Peony and Rose, which are known as the top ten famous flowers in China, have been registered as "international identities" by other countries, so that new varieties in China need to be certified by them first. The only one not registered is osmanthus fragrans. At the moment I put pen to paper, it's hard to say whether I was squatted. The connection with "Sakurahara Japan Theory" makes people think that we should strengthen our research and understanding in this field.
Cherry blossoms were in full bloom in China two thousand years ago.
Japanese cherry blossoms originated in China.
Cherry blossoms, a world-famous flower, are the national flower of Japan, so many people think that cherry blossoms come from Japan. In fact, China has long recorded the cultivation of cherry blossoms. Bai Juyi, a poet in Tang Dynasty.
The poem "Plant new cherry trees in a small garden and swim around the flowers".
Cherry trees are free and easy to develop. When they are in full bloom, they are like Yushu Qionghua, which is very spectacular. According to literature research, cherry blossoms were cultivated in China's palaces in the Qin and Han Dynasties more than two thousand years ago, and generally appeared in private gardens in the Tang Dynasty. The history of planting cherry blossoms in Japan is only over 1000 years. It was brought to Japan when plum blossoms were introduced from China, and was later carried forward by Japan.
According to reports, there are
There are more than 50 basic species of wild cherry blossoms, among which China accounts for 38 species, followed by Japan, Korea, Myanmar and other countries. "
The Origin of Sakura-China
Cherry blossoms spread from China to Japan.
According to the Cherry Blossom Mirror (the authoritative monograph on cherry blossoms written by Japanese scholars), Japanese cherry blossoms were first introduced from the Himalayas in China. Yunnan is close to the Himalayas. 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.
"Sakura Dajian" also said that after Himalayan cherry blossoms were introduced to Japan, they became Japanese flowers after careful cultivation, and they were also more cultivated, resulting in higher varieties with stronger ornamental value.
Because cherry blossoms and cherries are very similar in appearance, the ancient cherry blossoms in China are not as well known as other famous flowers, but they can still be found in ancient books. Bai Juyi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, and Yu Ruoying, a poet in the Ming Dynasty, both mentioned cherry blossoms in their poems. Because Japan planted cherry blossoms, its reputation overshadowed that of China, and it had the initial illusion.
