Chengdu，the capital of Sichuan Province，has an ancient rivalry with Chongqing，a city to its southeast. Residents of Chongqing accuse their Chengdu cousins of being pompous.The people of Chongqing are hotheads，and Chengdu dwellers shoot back.Both cities share a love of spice-laden Sichuan cuisine， which in recent decades has conquered Chinese palates. But they are at war over which has the best Sichuan hotpot—a type of DIY-cooking that involves boiling vegetables and slices of meat in a communal（共享的）broth with chillies and numbing peppercorns．

A private museum in Chongqing，opened several years ago， makes the case for Chongqing-style hotpot.It describes how it developed from a method used to make cheap offcuts of meat taste delicious. But Chengdu is playing catch-up.In January the city sold a plot of land on condition that the developer build a hotpot museum on part of it.Such presumptuous behaviour will test the famous fiery tempers of Chongqing-ites.

①The two cities are among many in China with their own styles of hotpot.②The stories behind these dishes reveal how different regions like to see themselves.③Chongqing's is said to highlight the ingenuity （独创力）of the proletariat.④Other places describe their hotpots as the sophisticated food of emperors.⑤Some say theirs have military origins： warriors on the march boiling scraps in their helmets.⑥Hotpot contents are equally diverse.⑦To keep warm in winter， Beijingers boil fatty lamb in a berry broth．⑧Mint-suffused Yunnan hotpot reflects the province's links with Southeast Asia．

But Sichuan-style broths are the most commonly savoured in China．In recent years their popularity has been booming．China has around 350，000 hotpot restaurants．About 40，000 of them are said to be in the Chongqing region alone． Hotpot restaurants in China are more profitable than other kinds，according to iiMedia，a consultancy．Haidilao，a well-known Sichuanbased hotpot chain，raised nearly$1bn when it was listed on the Hong Kong Exchanges in September．The company is marketing its hotpot worldwide．It expanded into Canada in December．Branches are set to open in London later this year．

The more adventurous tastes of younger Chinese are fuelling demand．One third of customers at hotpot restaurants in China are aged between 25 and 30，iiMedia says．They often have little time to cook at home and are unburdened by child-care duties．They like the social aspects of sharing hotpots． Round-the-clock restaurants are sprouting up to allow leisurely feasting．

Not all Chinese warm to hotpot．Some older Sichuanese disown it altogether．They complain that it is causing an escalation of chilli-use in other dishes that drowns out subtle flavours．Chua Lam，a celebrity food critic based in Hong Kong， caused a stir in December when he wished hotpot would disappear from the face of the Earth．He dismissed it as “the most uncultured form of cooking”，requiring no real culinary knowledge．

But Chengdu's plans for a museum suggest that Sichuan hotpot is not only growing in popularity，but is also becoming iconic．If it can set the West on fire，officials may hope it will become a delicious new source of Chinese soft power．There will be plenty of glory for both Chengdu and Chongqing to bask in if that happens．

Ⅱ.难句分析

1.In January the city sold a plot of land on condition that the developer build a hotpot museum on part of it．

on condition that 表示“在……的条件下”，后面加同位语从句。比如，He agreed to speak to reporters on condition that he was not identified.他同意在不暴露身份的条件下和记者谈话。

2.He dismissed it as“the most uncultured form of cooking”，requiring no real culinary knowledge．

requiring no real culinary knowledge是现在分词作定语，dismiss sth as sth表示“否定某事”，比如，He just laughed and dismissed my proposal as unrealistic.他只是笑了笑，认为我的建议不切实际，拒绝考虑。
