Looking at a string of chili, a frame of chili, think of Sichuan flavor. In fact, chili originated in Mexico, from more than 8,000 years ago, chili has been used as a cooking food, become part of the American diet, but at that time it was only the use of wild chili. Chilli was first domesticated and cultivated by Indians in southeast Mexico more than 6,000 years ago. From Mexico to Peru, ancient Indians also gradually domesticated the peppers in different regions. Although peppers have been cultivated by Native Americans for thousands of years, because they were so far apart from other continents, until the fifteenth century, people on other continents had not tasted them, or even heard of them. In 1492, during the Great Navigation of the Middle Ages, Columbus, a pioneer of geographical discovery, landed in Genoa, Italy, and when he discovered peppers, he thought they were the peppers that the continent was eager for. On January 1, 1493, Columbus recorded his discovery in the Caribbean in his diary: "The peppers used by the local Indians as seasonings were richer and more valuable than black pepper or Melegeta pepper (African Paradise Pepper)." (Hot Pepper) was the pepper he mistakenly thought he was looking for, and Melegeta pepper is a ginger seasoning from Africa. When Columbus brought the pepper back to Europe, the Mediterranean region first began to grow the peppers, and soon liked the taste of the peppers. But the final globalization of peppers may be due to the Portuguese, whose trade fleet used peppers as the mainstay of its global trade in spices and seasonings, bringing them to southern India when it established its first colony and later spreading them elsewhere. Chillies can be dried, stored and transported easily, a feature that quickly spread around the world. There is no record of peppers in the Ming Dynasty medicine St. Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Herbal Medicine", because the peppers were brought from the Americas to Europe by Columbus nearly 100 years before they were introduced to China. When peppers were first introduced to China after 1591, they were only used as ornamental flowers and were not eaten. The peppers were most likely to arrive on the Macau Peninsula by sea through Portuguese merchants, then spread to the Chinese coast, and gradually spread inland and west. It arrived in Hunan and Sichuan in 1684 and spread to other parts of China. Until today, many parts of China also refer to peppers as "sea peppers", which indirectly confirm that peppers came from the sea. After the peppers arrived in coastal areas of China, they were not immediately accepted as ingredients. It was not until the end of the Ming Dynasty (1644), when natural disasters and war caused food shortages, that peppers really entered the Chinese recipe. According to historical records, the first to eat peppers was Guizhou, and several other provinces were later recorded to eat spicy food. Everyone knows that Sichuan is a big basin, due to the climate, Sichuan's moisture is relatively heavy. Since the peppers entered China, Sichuanese accidentally found that after eating peppers, they can play a dehumidification effect, so a transmission of ten, ten, many Sichuan people began to eat peppers, long time to develop the Sichuan people especially like to eat peppers habits. By now, most Sichuanese have almost reached the point of no spicy, peppers are not native to China, are completely imported from Mexico, and not many people think of "eating chili since ancient times." Chili is not used for eating at first, but for ornamental plants. Later, it was used by the ancients to replace salt as a seasoning agent, as an auxiliary ingredient in the ingredients, and gradually entered the public seasoning.
