Sakura, originated in China. According to the authoritative Japanese book "Sakura Dakan", cherry blossoms are native to the Himalayas. After being artificially cultivated, this species was gradually introduced to the Yangtze River Basin of China, southwest China and Taiwan Island. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the royal family began to plant cherry blossoms, with a cultivation history of more than 2,000 years. During the Han and Tang Dynasties, it was commonly planted in private gardens. There is a poem that goes: I also know that the official residence is not my residence, and the garden is full of cherry blossoms. He also said: There are newly planted red cherry trees in the small garden, so we can take a leisurely stroll around the branches. The poem clearly explains that the poet dug wild mountain cherry blossoms back from the mountains and planted them in the courtyard for viewing. By the time of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, cherry blossoms could be seen blooming everywhere from the palaces and verandas to the fields of houses, highlighting the majestic figure of China in its prosperous age. At that time, all nations came to Korea, and Japan deeply admired the brilliance of Chinese culture and the cultivation and appreciation of cherry blossoms. The cherry blossoms were brought back to Japan by Japanese worshipers along with architecture, clothing, tea ceremony, kendo, etc.
