2. Watching the finals of the Women's World Cup by burning the lights and staying up late is mainly to see the national and spiritual display of two very interesting countries. The second is the technical and tactical battle on the spot. Compared with China people who can't even dream well, the "cherry blossom fairy tale" created by Japanese women's football team is the crystallization of courage, determination and wisdom.
On June 6th, 3.65438, Catman under the cherry tree held a book appreciation activity in Qingdao Xinhua Bookstore. 13-year-old author Liu interacted with young readers at the scene, not only telling his own creative experience, but also signing autographs for every child present.
At the moment when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, different colors are changing every day. With the sunshine, the white petals in the morning have a little pink, and in the evening, they gradually turn purple. This summer, the master beauty brand Shu Uemura redefined the "cherry blossom color", and four cherry blossom lipsticks were recently launched, which perfectly interpreted the new realm of summer lip color.
"Cherry blossoms originated in China and were later introduced to Japan."
"You are wrong! Although Japanese cherry blossoms and China cherry blossoms belong to the same family, they are plants with different Latin scientific names. The former is Prunus armeniaca, and the latter is cherry ....................... "
This is a cherry blossom viewing trip that started with a quarrel, but it will surely end in sakura rain. Whether the earliest cherry trees in Japan came from the Himalayas in China or not, it is certain that no country in the world has more cherry trees than Japan.
It is said that the annual cherry blossom tour of China Development International Travel Service will be sold out three months in advance; It is said that the annual cherry blossom season in Japan, the growth rate of inbound tourists can reach 30%; It is said that in every place where cherry blossoms are in full bloom, you can meet a bustling crowd, but "in that beautiful atmosphere, no one will notice the crowd."
Just for this "beautiful atmosphere", let's get ready to go, bring a pair of eyes and a heart, and follow in the footsteps of a Japanese fairy named "Mu Hua Ye Zhi" (which means cherry blossoms) (according to Japanese legend, in a year of 165438+ 10, Mu Hua Ye Zhi started from Okinawa and passed through Kyushu, Kansai and Kanto. Along the way, she planted a flower symbolizing love and hope in every corner, and Japan became the "country of cherry blossoms" to welcome the most beautiful scenery in this spring.
Flowers fall on the hot spring road in Kyushu
Perhaps because of traffic factors, Kyushu is not a popular cherry blossom viewing destination for travel agencies, but it can avoid crowded and familiar cherry blossom viewing places and see a unique cherry blossom landscape that has never been seen in other parts of Japan. In Kyushu, orthodox Japanese customs and authentic long history are in full bloom with cherry blossoms.
The first thing to say is kumamoto castle, Kyushu. As one of the three famous cities in Japan, which are as famous as Osaka Castle and Himeji Castle, during the cherry blossom season, whether in Ishigaki Takashi's famous Return of the Warrior or or in the black-and-white Tianshou Pavilion, you can meet more than 800 cherry trees blooming all over the sky. The white fat queen cherry (the fat queen is an alias of Kumamoto in ancient times) and Kumamoto Castle set each other off, and it is inevitable that there is a feeling of nostalgia.
Some people say that the only thing to do when you go to Kyushu to see cherry blossoms is to soak in hot springs.
The hot springs in Beppu, Oita Prefecture, Kyushu are very famous in Japan. 3,000 hot springs, with an outflow of 260,000 cubic meters per minute, are the essence of Kyushu, ranking first in Japan. Overlooking this coastal city from a height, pine forests, mountain streams and hot spring hotels in the depths of alleys are all scenes in Miyazaki Hayao's cartoons.
The road from Kumamoto Castle to Tangzhier Hot Springs and Tangzhihe Hot Springs in Minamata City, with a total length of 27 kilometers, is a cherry blossom viewing resort known as "Tangzhier Binhai Road". Among them, the five-kilometer road full of cherry blossoms is full of cherry blossoms from late March to April, just like walking in the cherry blossom tunnel. During the flowering period, there are flower boat activities on the sea, overlooking Sakura Avenue from the sea.
Jiting Garden (also called Xianyan Garden), also located in Kyushu and Kagoshima, was a feudal mansion in Meiji period. In the traditional Japanese-style courtyard, you can see the active volcano of Sakura Island from a distance through the blooming cherry blossoms. On Kagoshima Island, which is connected by mountains and seas, next to Sakura Island, a small island named after cherry blossoms, there is a unique sand bath hot spring steaming here, and the sand inside is a special hot sand in the volcano. It is said that sand hot springs can eliminate inflammatory exudates and exothermic substances in the human body, and also provide enough nutrition for the body, and the curative effect is four times higher than that of ordinary hot springs.
The sound of guqin in Kyoto night sakura
Cherry blossoms have a history of thousands of years in Japan. It is said that cherry blossom viewing began in heian period and has always been a favorite activity of the nobles. The first cherry blossom viewing conference was presided over by the emperor in the 9th century. 1598, Toyotomi Hideyoshi held a flower viewing party at Daiguo Temple in Kyoto, which is famous for its extravagance in history books, and is called "flower viewing party" in history.
As the capital of heian period and the "hometown of Japanese soul" with strong amorous feelings, Kyoto witnessed the prosperity of the atmosphere of "cherry blossom viewing". Seeing cherry blossoms in Kyoto is the best way to get in touch with Japanese traditional culture.
Walking around Kyoto, you can meet the "cherry blossoms" in Yuanshan Park, the cherry trees in Ningnan Temple, the Sakura in Nijo Castle, the Tokugawa Mansion, and the women in kimonos in Lanshan. The cherry blossoms set each other off.
The well-preserved temple courtyard in Kyoto is a model of Japanese architecture. Bricks, tiles, grass and trees are just right, and there are landscapes that can be painted everywhere. In this landscape painting, with the shades of pink, white and red of cherry blossoms, we can understand why the Japanese can draw so many feelings between the glory and withering of cherry blossoms. In April in Kyoto, haiku conferences were held from time to time, and many young people were looking forward to singing Matsuo Bashō's "Enjoy flowers under the cherry trees, and all the dishes in the soup are flowers." That kind of interest and taste. Only this, we can see the Japanese love and inheritance of traditional culture.
In Kyoto, there is another way to enjoy cherry blossoms-night sakura. Or lean on the bright moon and enjoy the moonlight; Or with traditional Japanese lanterns on cherry trees, the dim light is like a dream. The Academy's "White Clap Dance night sakura Club" is full of ancient charm.
In the cherry blossom season, there are also cherry blossom cakes that must be tasted. The pink rice cake is filled with red bean paste and wrapped with pickled "Oshima Sakura" leaves. Eating with leaves is also unique.
Carnival under the cherry trees in Tokyo
Tokyo has been the capital of Japan since the Edo era. It was in the edo period that the Japanese appreciated cherry blossoms. It can be seen that Tokyo in spring must also be the "city of cherry blossoms".
When you first arrive in Tokyo, Ueno Yuci Park should be the first choice for flower viewing. Not only is Lu Xun widely known for writing a masterpiece about Ueno cherry blossoms, but for Japanese in Tokyo, it is naturally the pride of "Edo" (that is, Tokyo natives) to sing wine under the blooming cherry trees in Ueno Park every year. When Ueno cherry blossoms over 65,438+0,300 are in full bloom, all you can see in your eyes is the famous garden product "Yoshino Tanjing" which is as red as the clouds in the morning light. When the wind blows, the pink cherry rain is in full swing. In this "Sakura Fubuki", toasting and drinking for half a day is the Japanese favorite spring lifestyle.
The Japanese government has designated March 15 to April 15 as the "Cherry Blossom Festival" every year. As a custom of this festival, people will invite relatives and friends to "meet". The so-called "seeing flowers", as the name implies, is to enjoy flowers, but it is not just as simple as enjoying flowers. In the name of flower viewing, it is an excellent way for friends, relatives and colleagues to share their life feelings.
Cherry blossoms are honored as national flowers in Japan because they float to the ground at the most blooming moment. This "vigorous and carefree" attitude coincides with the Japanese outlook on life, and flower viewing has become an incentive.
In Tokyo, flower viewing is a serious matter, but don't forget that it is also the best shopping paradise in Asia. Shinjuku, a large shopping mall and a high concentration of flagship stores, can fully contact the fashion trends in Tokyo; In Shibuya, where young people are concentrated, you can meet the youngest design force in Japan; And must go to, naturally there will be daikanyama. Trails paved with gravel, shops for house renovation, international brands and local brands are all concentrated here. Most importantly, many of the goods sold here are limited editions ... a shopaholic's trip to enjoy flowers, and flowers are as perfect as things. During the cherry blossom season, the streets of Tokyo are full of goods with cherry blossom elements. Taking a few letters home is an excellent personal letter.
