Cabbage, also known in the West as the "Beijing variety of cabbage", that is, the ball cabbage, in Cantonese called Shao Cai. Cabbage has broad green leaves and white helpings. The multiple leaves are wrapped tightly together to form a cylinder, most of which will form a dense head. The leaves that are wrapped inside are less green or yellowish because they don't see the sunlight.
Cabbage is resistant to storage, so the Chinese people, especially in northern China, have a special affection for cabbage. In times of economic hardship, cabbage was the only vegetable they could eat throughout the winter, and a family would often need to store hundreds of pounds of cabbage to survive the winter, so cabbage has evolved in China to be stewed, stir-fried, pickled, and mixed with a variety of cooking methods. In winter, when the lowest temperature is around -5°C, cabbage can be safely stored in piles outside for the winter, with the outer leaves drying to insulate the interior. If the temperature is even lower, cellar storage is required. However, there are several other ways to store cabbage in winter in the too cold north, such as pickling Korean winter vegetables in the north of North Korea and eastern northeastern China, in the western northeast of China, the eastern part of Inner Mongolia and the northern part of Hebei cold before and the lack of salt in the region used to use stained sauerkraut methods such as storage of cabbage.
