Later, as society continued to change, people realized that slicing meat into thin slices and eating it shabu-shabu was more flavorful and tender than cooking it directly, and so shabu-shabu came into being. Later, with the arrival of various spices from the West into the Central Plains, people found that it was more flavorful to concoct a pot base with spices and then add ingredients to shabu-shabu, and so hot pots became even more prevalent.

The hot pot reached its peak during the Song Dynasty, which also had to do with the social environment of the Song Dynasty. After all, the society was relatively stable and the people were relatively rich, so there were many cuisines invented during the Song Dynasty. And in the Qing Dynasty, hot pot became an essential dish in the palace, such as the famous ? Chrysanthemum pot? , is one of the important evidence of the development of hot pot in the Qing Dynasty.
