As a result, cherry blossoms, which have always symbolized "mourning" because of their fleeting fleeting, bloomed in China with great beauty and romance, and although ornamental cherry blossoms have been cultivated on a large scale in China for less than 40 years, they have swept all over the world with an overwhelming momentum.

In this land, they sing not the sentimentality of spring, but the popular songs of the times. People who admire the blossoms do not often lament why the beauty is fleeting, but admire the wonderful moment of each cherry blossom blooming.

Where are the best cherry blossoms?
Looking at "Yun Ying" on a map of Chinese cherry blossoms, it is first a magnificent tour that spans thousands of miles. In East Asia, there are many romantic scenes under the cherry blossom trees, but only in China can the cherry blossoms in the mountains and rivers bloom.

When the cherry blossoms came to China, they also had a wonderful reaction with the mountain tea area. In Zhangping, Fujian, Pingba in Guizhou... Cherry blossoms bloom among hundreds of acres of tea plantations, I wonder if the spring tea produced here will bring a hint of cherry blossoms?

The large cherry blossom garden with thousands of acres at every turn is really a feast of the landscape in spring. It's just that the cherry blossoms in the mountains, as a newcomer to the flower world, are not as widely distributed as peach blossoms and rape flowers. Beautiful cherry blossoms, you still have to go to the city to find.
Sakura Park
There is the most beautiful spring in the city
As long as the climate is right, Chinese always think of planting a little cherry blossoms in a large park, and they warm up the spring in every city.
The first place to grow cherry blossoms on a large scale is Wuxi's Yutou Nagisa. As early as the 30s of the 20th century, cherry blossoms were in full bloom along the Changchun Bridge, and now, more than 12,000 cherry blossoms are planted in Wuxi, which is the largest in East China.

The cherry blossoms in Wuhan's Luojia Mountain and East Lake have long been Internet celebrities that do not need to be mentioned. However, the people of Changsha, Hunan Province, across from Dongting Lake, did not want to go to Hubei to see the flowers every year, so they spent forty years to create a cherry blossom garden in the Hunan Forest Botanical Garden.

However, the best cherry blossoms have to be on a campus full of youth. The cherry blossoms here correspond to the poem -
"You look at the view from the bridge and the person watching the view watches you upstairs"

Cherry blossom viewing in colleges and universities pays attention to the unity of people and scenery - in this regard, the four main schools of "Tongxi Wulin" in the cherry blossom rivers and lakes have their own unique skills.
First of all, only when the campus is called "People's Park" can it become a first-class master of the cherry blossom rivers and lakes of the university.
Therefore, Wuhan University's "Luojia Mountain People's Park", Tongji University's "Siping Road People's Park", and Xi'an Jiaotong University's "Xingqing People's Park" all have something to say.

If you want to see the cherry blossoms, you have to measure them with your feet. After climbing over the slope of despair, you can see the most beautiful flower bottle of cherry blossoms, the old Saisha. This is probably a metaphor for a hard-working spring.

The cherry blossom season here is lively: the three-line love poem of the cherry blossom season, the cherry blossom food in the half-acre garden restaurant, the invincible night sky garden on the 13th and 19th floors of the complex building, the accordion played by the grandfather under the cherry blossom tree, the lazy Tongji school meow "big cow"... Countless spring moments hide the romance of Tongji people conquering the entire Shanghai Beach.
I wonder if this grandfather is still okay?

It is no wonder that Shanghai has cherry blossoms in Gucun Park and Chenshan Botanical Garden, but people still prefer the cherry blossoms of Tongji. If I had to choose to fall in love with spring, it would be during the cherry blossom season at Tongji University.
After seeing the cherry blossoms of Xi'an Jiaotong University, I know what it is to "see all the Chang'an flowers in one day".

For example, the cherry blossoms on the shore of Nanlin Daxuanwu Lake are exceptionally quiet, light on sunny days, cold when rainy, and beautiful under the moon at night.

In addition, colleges and universities across the country are competing for glory, each with its own merits.
In the universities of Kunming, Yunnan, weeping begonia and cherry blossoms charm their eyes together; Southeast University, hiding the spring flowers that flourished in the millennium; The Laoshan Campus of Ocean University of China is the leader of the cherry blossoms of northern universities... There are countless cherry blossom viewing spots in Chinese universities.
Guess what this flower is very similar to cherry blossoms?

The campus is also the place where Chinese first developed their feelings for cherry blossoms. People draw maps of cherry blossoms, build "cherry blossom post offices", and sell all kinds of cherry blossom peripherals, leaving behind the spit that "how beautiful cherry blossoms are, how bad cherry blossom-flavored things are"... Throw romantic visions that have nowhere to be placed in cherry blossoms and regenerate them throughout China.
Cherry blossom crisp. In fact, the taste of cherry blossoms is very light, and the cherry blossom smell of Internet celebrity food comes from the aroma of cherry blossoms and people's imagination.

Miraculously, cherry blossoms have been unknown in China's flower viewing scene for thousands of years. Why did this cherry blossom craze sweep across China in just forty years?

After all, Yi Xie is like a cherry blossom with a short spring, and in the eyes of the ancients, it obviously lacks "positive energy". In contrast, cherries were quite favored by the ancients.
The cherry blossoms enjoyed by the ancients were not the same as those seen today. Whether it's "plum blossoms bloom after cherry blossoms, light and even red" or "remember the blossoms and snowy branches", most of them describe mountain cherry blossoms and cherry blossoms.

Today's cherry blossom viewing is actually a distant relative. Wild cherry blossoms originated in the Himalayas and spread eastward to the Japanese islands tens of thousands of years ago.
Cherry blossoms have a cold-resistant physique, and they can also be budding in ice and snow.

Later, ornamental cherry blossoms, which were cultivated from native Japanese cherry blossoms, were far from wild cherry blossoms and cherry blossoms. However, the custom of flower viewing spread to Japan during the Tang Dynasty, and was then carried forward by the local area.
This kind of cherry blossom viewing, with her characteristics, has successfully achieved a counterattack in the Chinese flower viewing industry.

Why are cherry blossoms hot in China? For one, cherry blossoms are probably the most "bells and whistles" flowers.
In China, if it is a large cherry blossom garden without more than 50 kinds of cherry blossoms, it is embarrassing to call it a "cherry blossom viewing mecca". From December to May of the following year, winter cherry blossoms are the pioneer, and the early cherry blossoms, middle cherry blossoms, and late cherry blossoms are overwhelmed and play a set of "combination punches", which is no less than a "dimensionality reduction blow" for the traditional plum blossom peach blossom rape flowers.

The cherry blossoms themselves are also seventy-two changes, first look at the name of the flower, what scarlet cold, eightfold red, taibai, Guanshan, Matsugetsu, all of them are full of literature and art; Look at the flower type, there are broom-shaped "Tianzhi River", umbrella-shaped "Puxian Elephant"; In terms of flower colors, there are white "Somei Yoshino" and green "Imperial Yellow", which are even more colorful and exciting.

Cherry blossom viewing masters often have to formulate a full set of standards based on flower color, leaf color and tree shape, and the degree of care is no less than holding a beauty contest.
Second, the rise to power of cherry blossoms not only relies on self-struggle, but also conforms to the historical process of China's rapid development.

In the autumn of 1909, Zhou Shuren, who had not yet become "Lu Xun", wrote "Ueno cherry blossoms like crimson light clouds" and came to Zhejiang Two-level Normal School (the predecessor of Hangzhou Senior High School) to teach. During this period, he often took his students around to collect plant specimens and wanted to compile a "Flora of West Lake". Therefore, the teachers and students of Hang Gao still relish the fact that their century-old cherry blossom tree was planted by Zhou Shuren himself.
I don't know if the cherry blossoms on the shore of West Lake have seen Zhou Shuren.

This seems to be a microcosm of the development of cherry blossoms in China. In the past, cherry blossoms have always had complex images. She is a humiliating imprint in the period of national collapse and has become a national gift in peacetime.
China's large-scale urbanization in the past four decades has created a big march of cherry blossoms to parks around the world, and they are also widely used in urban greening.

Cherry blossoms, accompanied by the spread of Japanese aesthetics and the popularity of animations such as "five centimeters per second", have a kind of Internet celebrity temperament. They live in a youth novel with the protagonist of "Sakura", in the annual spit on cherry blossom-flavored food, in the photographer's long guns and short videos of tourists, but finally, like other widely spread genres, they have opened up a unique cherry blossom temperament in China.
