For the impression of hot pot, most people first feel that it is spicy hot pot from Sichuan or Chongqing, and most people have a narrow definition of hot pot. In fact, for hot pot, whether it is spicy hot pot in Sichuan or Chongqing. , Lamb mutton, which is still loved by the old Beijingers, and the clear soup seafood pot of Cantonese, can be regarded as one of the types of hot pot.

When it comes to the origin of hot pot, there are actually many different opinions. Take Beijing’s mutton as an example. According to legend, Beijing’s mutton mutton originated during Genghis Khan's period. Because of the war all year round, Genghis Khan couldn’t bear the soldiers eating dry dried meat. Invented the eating method of boiled lamb slices with white water. Later, with the end of the war, this method of eating was passed down. After improvements, the original white water also evolved into a thick soup with various spices.

Unlike the lamb in old Beijing, there is a big controversy about spicy hot pot. In fact, the biggest controversy lies in the origin. There is a view that spicy hot pot originated in Chongqing. In the past, the mountains in Chongqing were steep and the transportation was mainly water transportation. For ships moving upstream, a tracker on the shore is needed to lead the ship forward by pulling a rope. And because of the low humidity and low temperature in the river valley all year round, the trackers use the pepper and other spices they carry with them to make a rich soup, which is used to stew fish, shrimp and vegetables, and then form a hot pot.

Another argument is that spicy hot pot originated in Zigong, Sichuan. The basis for this argument is that salt has been a controlled seasoning since ancient times. One exception is Zigong, where salt is produced. As a place of production, salt here is cheap and can be seen everywhere. In addition, since the Qing Dynasty, the supply of beef in Zigong area is very sufficient, so the locals invented the use of hot beef to eat.

In fact, no matter where it is produced, hot pots across the country are not the same. Just like the Sichuan-Chongqing area, which is famous for hot pot, each restaurant also has its own hot pot, which is unique, so it is difficult for you to eat two that have exactly the same taste. hot pot.
