In 1997, the central government separated Chongqing from Sichuan, and Chongqing became the fourth municipality directly under the central government after Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai. However, Sichuan cuisine is one of the eight major cuisines in China. Sichuan cuisine also includes Chongqing cuisine and Rong cuisine. If you want to separate Chongqing cuisine from Sichuan cuisine and become a cuisine, personally, it is really unnecessary.
First of all, Sichuan cuisine includes Chongqing cuisine. For example, compare Sichuan cuisine to a mother, then Chongqing cuisine is a son. Since ancient times, in people's minds, Sichuan cuisine has included Chongqing cuisine. If we have to separate them, many people are not used to it. Even some people think it's artificial.
Secondly, Sichuan cuisine is a kind of food culture, and it is a kind of development for people in Sichuan and Chongqing. Although Chongqing does not belong to Sichuan now, in people's minds, Sichuan and Chongqing are still twin brothers. In people's minds, Sichuan cuisine has long been integrated into the bone marrow of people in Sichuan and Chongqing. What if we separate the Chongqing dishes and call them? Chongqing cuisine? I wonder if you think it is a manifestation of Chongqing people's inferiority complex?
finally, Sichuan cuisine is characterized by spicy and hemp. I believe many friends who have eaten Sichuan food know that Sichuan food is mainly spicy. For example, Sichuan hot pot and Chongqing hot pot, which are known all over the country, are almost spicy in taste, even though there is a little difference in name. Mapo tofu in Sichuan cuisine is even more spicy and enjoyable. ?
In a word, Chongqing, Sichuan is a relative, and making a Chongqing dish makes people feel so different, and makes people feel that Sichuan food is also separated.
Sichuan cuisine is one of the eight major cuisines in China, and it has a certain influence all over the country. If you don't believe it, you can see Sichuan cuisine restaurants no matter in Beishangguang, a first-tier city, or a remote county town that can't get online, and there are more customers in those Sichuan cuisine restaurants. It is enough to prove that Sichuan cuisine is very popular among people all over the country. Chongqing cuisine? I don't know if it's that famous. This is also a personal opinion, and you are welcome to express your opinions and suggestions.
