the origin of hot pot

hot pot is a traditional way of eating in China, which originated from the people and has a long history. Chongqing Hot Pot, also known as Maodu Hot Pot or Spicy Hot Pot, originated from the extensive catering methods of boatmen on the banks of Jialing River and Chaotianmen in Chongqing in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. Later, with the development of society, the changes of history, people's eating habits and the unique flavor of Chongqing Hot Pot were gradually loved by people.

Although the container, preparation method and seasoning of today's hot pot have undergone thousands of years of evolution, the same thing has not changed, that is, cooking (rinsing) food with fire pot and water (soup) for heat conduction. This cooking method appeared as early as the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, and it can be said that it is the embryonic form of hot pot.
