The period around beginning of autumn is the most suitable time for planting Chinese cabbage. There is also a folk saying in China that "radish grows first, mustard grows second and Chinese cabbage grows in beginning of autumn", which is a summary of the practice of Chinese cabbage cultivation by farmers in China for thousands of years. Of course, due to the climate difference between the north and the south, the time for planting Chinese cabbage in the south can be postponed.

Mature cabbages in light snow season need to be harvested and stored in time. Winter is a cold and long season for northern China, especially in the case of low productivity and underdeveloped technology in ancient times. Chinese cabbage is one of the few vegetables that ancient people can eat in winter. Therefore, it is very important to harvest and store cabbage in time during the light snow season in ancient China.

In addition, the weather is cold after the light snow, and if the cabbage can not be harvested in time, it may suffer from freezing injury. Hard-working people in the north will harvest cabbage in the field before and after the light snow to prevent cabbage from freezing in winter due to the temperature drop.

To sum up, as the saying goes, "light snow shovels cabbage", which means that light snow season is suitable for harvesting and storing cabbage. The light snow season is not only the harvest season of cabbage, but also the need to harvest cabbage as a winter reserve as soon as possible and prevent cabbage from freezing in time.
