Sichuan Cuisine
Chinese proudly call Sichuan “The land of abundance.” But according to Chinese history, thousands of years ago in Qin Dynasty, before the birth of contemporary Sichuan cuisine, Sichuan people do not necessarily eat any spicy food. They used to like sweets just like Shanghainese do. The record of Spicy started to entering Sichuan people’s lives in the Eastern Han Dynasty(25AD-220AD.) And the traditional Sichuan Cuisine was formed in North Song Dynasty (960AD-1127AD;) it was destroyed in Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty because of the wars. Then the contemporary Sichuan cuisine was reinvented in the middle of Qing Dynasty.

According to a study made by Hagura, N, Barber, H, and Haggard, P about Food Vibration and Sichuan peppercorn, published by Royal Society, the feeling of eating a Sichuan pepper is just like the feeling of being touched. Maybe that’s why nowadays there are many people like me are genuinely fascinated with such feeling.
