During the Qin and Han Dynasties more than 2,000 years ago, cherry blossoms were cultivated in Chinese palace gardens. During the Tang Dynasty, they were commonly seen in private courtyards. However, the cherry blossoms at that time were different from the cherry blossoms in Japan today. Nowadays, cherry blossoms generally refer to "Tokyo cherry blossoms", also known as "Japanese cherry blossoms".
