Hot pot originated in Chongqing, and now it is cold winter, which is the best time to eat hot pot. Why are candidates stumped by "hot pot"? "As long as foreign friends who know a little about China can generally understand that hot pot is hot pot." Gu Jincheng, assistant dean of Sichuan Institute of International Education, said that there is no word in English that can express the meaning of China hotpot, but hotpot has existed for a long time. "Hot means not only hot, but also spicy in English, which is very appropriate."

Li Yaqian, the young head of Dezhuang Hotpot, has studied in Britain for many years, and she also hopes to promote Chongqing Hotpot culture to the world through language. "Hot pot is a hodgepodge, which many foreigners still like to eat." Many stores in Dezhuang Hot Pot have English dishes on their menus. She believes that Chongqing people should know more about the foreign language expressions of traditional cultures around them, so that they can be more handy in promoting cultural exchanges and there will be no "hot pot".
