Jianghu dishes refer to dishes relative to authentic dishes. The most common classification of traditional dishes is by region. For example, in China, Sichuan cuisine, Hunan cuisine, Shandong cuisine and Guangdong cuisine are all divided, which may be convenient for chefs, but it is far from enough for a real food critic. In a sense, this is a strategic change for the catering industry to adapt to the needs of working-class consumer groups and the catering market to return to popularity.

Development of Jianghu dishes;

Jianghu cuisine can form its own system, with its geographical scope, social soil and catering culture atmosphere. Chongqing's unique geographical environment and climate characteristics have created the eating custom of "respecting taste and being spicy" for Chongqing people. With a large group of people who like to eat spicy food and seek excitement, there will be a large number of gourmet products that cater to their tastes. Sichuan cuisine is famous for being good at studying spicy food. 80% of Jianghu dishes, mainly Sichuan cuisine, are spicy, and a considerable part of them are evolved from hot pot.
