With so much land, China is good for growing vegetables. Many places have the light, soil (土壤) and water that vegetables need.
Most of today’s vegetables were once wild (野生的) plants. Chinese people started to eat and plant them quite early. The Book of Songs (《诗经》), written 2, 500 years ago, said something about vegetables. Chinese people were also open to vegetables from other countries. Potatoes, peppers and tomatoes were all from other places. But Chinese people planted them, making them popular vegetables in China.
In the old times, poet Tao Yuanming lived in the countryside and did farm work. This surely included planting vegetables. He loved this peaceful life.
