Chinese cabbage is also called "Beijing variety cabbage" in the west, that is, heading cabbage, which is called Shaocai in Cantonese. China cabbage has broad green leaves and white cabbage. Many leaves are tightly wrapped together to form a cylinder, and most of them will form a dense head. The leaves wrapped inside are light green or even light yellow because they can't see the sun.
Chinese cabbage is resistant to storage, so China people, especially northerners, have special feelings for Chinese cabbage. In times of economic difficulties, Chinese cabbage is the only vegetable they can eat all winter. A family often needs to store hundreds of kilograms of Chinese cabbage to cope with winter, so Chinese cabbage has evolved various burning methods in China. When the lowest temperature in winter is about -5℃, Chinese cabbage can be safely stored outdoors for winter, and the external leaves can be dried for internal insulation. If the temperature is lower, it needs to be cellar. However, in the cold north, there are several other ways to store Chinese cabbage in winter, such as pickling Korean winter vegetables in the north, northeast and east China, and storing Chinese cabbage in salt-deficient areas in the northeast, west, east Inner Mongolia and north Hebei before the cold.
Because Chinese cabbage is sown after corn harvest in autumn and harvested in early winter, it has a large yield and is easy to manage, but it needs to occupy land for storage, so it is very cheap to go on the market at the same time during the harvest period. Some merchants often use the slogan "cabbage price of a certain commodity" to promote their products, which should be cheap.
There are many varieties of Chinese cabbage, including loose leaf type, flower heart type, spherical type and hemispherical type. The main varieties are:
Along the Grand Canal, represented by Tianjin, there are green hemp leaves (Tianjin Green) with a planting history of 300 to 400 years. There are many green leaves, thin stems, less fiber and tender leaves. "Jinghai County Records" once wrote: "In the past (Qi people in the Southern Dynasties) called it the beauty of rural flavor, with leeks in early spring and fermented grains in late autumn. It tastes delicious and lasts for a long time. The producers along the canal are the best. "
Varieties with yellow leaves are also called yellow Brussels sprouts, yellow Brussels sprouts and yellow Brussels sprouts. In the 24th year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1898), it was recorded in "Golden Gate" that "yellow-bud cabbage is better than winter bamboo shoots in the south of the Yangtze River, because it can never tire of eating", so it was also called "northern bamboo shoots".
Taiwan Province cabbage, which grows in Taiwan Province Province, is also a kind of Chinese cabbage, which is thinner than Beijing cabbage.

Ornamental Chinese Cabbage (King of Flowers)
On October 4th, 2007, I made a special report on watching Chinese cabbage (the king of treasures) on CCTV 7.
Cabbage flower is a Chinese cabbage mutant bred by researchers of Jiaozhou Chinese Cabbage Research Institute after years of cultivation. This variety has slow growth rate, long growth period and good quality. There are four major changes in the growth process: rape in seedling stage, cabbage in rosette stage, color-changing vegetables in mature stage and ornamental vegetables in storage stage. This kind of Chinese cabbage not only has higher nutritional quality than ordinary Chinese cabbage, but also is healthy.
In the long process, the leaf heart can also show different colors with the change of seasons. This edible and ornamental Chinese cabbage can grow for more than ten months if planted in a flowerpot. However, with the different temperature and growth period, the color of the leaf center can change in many ways, and thousands of golden flowers can be produced at a time in the later stage for ornamental Chinese cabbage.
This is the history of Chinese cabbage:
Chinese cabbage is native to northern China, commonly known as Chinese cabbage. Introduced to the south, it is cultivated all over the country. /kloc-was introduced to Japan, Europe and America in the 0/9th century. There are many kinds of Chinese cabbage, including JIAOZHOU Chinese cabbage, Bai Qing Chinese cabbage, Tianjin green Chinese cabbage, Northeast Chinese cabbage and Yangcheng Chinese cabbage. Chinese cabbage in the south is imported from the north, and its varieties include Wujinbai, Silkworm Cabbage, Cocktail White and Xueliqing, all of which are excellent varieties. Chinese cabbage contains minerals such as protein, fat, vitamins, calcium, phosphorus and a lot of crude fiber, which can be used for stewing, frying, stirring, stuffing and side dishes. In particular, Chinese cabbage contains more vitamins, which can not only increase the flavor and delicacy of meat, but also reduce nitrite and nitrite substances in meat and reduce the generation of carcinogen ammonium nitrite. As the saying goes, "pork is the best meat, and cabbage is the only fresh dish." Besides cooked food, Chinese cabbage can also be processed into dried vegetables or pickled products. For example, the "Beijing and Winter Cuisine" in Hebei is a famous local dish made of Chinese cabbage.
Chinese cabbage is also called "Beijing variety cabbage" in the west, that is, heading cabbage, which is called Shaocai in Cantonese. China cabbage has broad green leaves and white cabbage.

For people with qi deficiency and stomach cold, it is not advisable to eat more cabbage to avoid nausea and vomiting. Eating too much can be solved with ginger.
