It is true that the plum blossoms are the favorite in China, especially in the literature. There are a lot of poems about plum blossoms.（Chairman Mao, being a lover of plum, once wrote a famous poem --Ode to the plum blossom. )However, it is really interesting to know that the plum blossoms were popular in Japan until around the Heian Period，gradually replaced by the cherry blossoms. Thank you for sharing it so much.

Glad you enjoyed it! I'm glad to know I was correct about China's love of them. The plum blossoms are still popular in Japan, but the weather is more gentle for the cherry blossoms, making it more comfortable to have parties while viewing them, so they win.
