What do Japanese cherry blossoms represent in love?

Japan has been attached to cherry blossoms for nearly 1500 years and has the reputation of "the country of cherry blossoms". It is said that there was once a smart and beautiful girl who set off from Okinawa, Japan, passed through Kyushu Island, Kansai and Kanto, and arrived in Hokkaido, scattering cherry blossoms symbolizing love and hope everywhere. Since then, cherry blossoms have bloomed from south to north in turn and never withered.

Japanese myths say that cherry blossoms are the place where the god of happiness lives, so cherry blossoms symbolize happiness. However, due to the short flowering period of cherry blossoms, the so-called "seven days of cherry blossoms", the Japanese believe that this is not conducive to the continuation of family prosperity, so most families do not plant cherry blossoms. Cherry blossoms are clean and crisp when they fall, which is regarded as a symbol of Japanese spirit. In the era of Heian shogunate, the samurai regarded the blooming of cherry blossoms as their "dying" spirit, and thought that life was as short as cherry blossoms, and life was as brilliant as cherry blossoms. Even if they died, they had to leave decisively, so once they failed, they would commit suicide by caesarean section under the cherry trees. Westerners regard the fleeting characteristics of cherry blossoms as a symbol of first love, and believe that people who like cherry blossoms generally cannot have long-term love.

People enjoy cherry blossoms in spring because of the ritual of divining the quality of rice harvest in the farming era. People still believe that the year when cherry blossoms are not in full bloom is a bad year, and the blooming of cherry blossoms represents a bumper harvest. Modern Japanese like the spirit of elegance, firmness, beauty, simplicity and independence of cherry blossoms, and also regard cherry blossoms as a symbol of diligence, courage and wisdom.

Cherry blossoms in dreams are symbols of life and happiness. Some people say that dreaming of cherry blossoms means that friends who have made good friends are leaving; Dreaming that cherry blossoms are dying is mostly related to love, or starting a new relationship, or casting a shadow over the ongoing love; Dream of cherry blossom branches broken, pay attention to your health.
