据史料记载,辣椒原产于中南美洲热带地区,原产国是墨西哥。公元15世纪至16世纪,欧洲的航海家们陆续开辟新航路,发现了美洲新大陆,使得原生于美洲大陆的辣椒传入世界其他地区。16世纪末,中国正处于开放海禁的明代后期(隆庆至万历年间),与欧洲商人的贸易使得辣椒经海路进入中国,并从东南沿海逐步向西北、西南内陆输送传播。
辣椒最早传入中国的时候并不是用来吃的,而是用来观赏的。清乾隆年间,辣椒最早作为一种蔬菜被中国人食用,国内普遍开始吃辣椒则是在道光以后。
我们知道,川之辣,在麻;湘之辣,在烈;鄂之辣,在干;赣之辣,在香;云贵之辣,在酸;东北之辣,在辛。而常山之辣,主要在鲜。浙江常山是中国鲜辣文化的发祥地。这鲜,鲜在一方好山好水赐予的新鲜优质食材,鲜在千年古县世代相传的独特调味佐料,鲜在这方水土祖辈传承的烹饪技术。多年来,以“鲜辣”为特色的常山将军鱼等“十大碗”享有盛名,深受各地宾朋喜爱。
Chili peppers were originally produced in the tropical regions of Central and South America, with Mexico as its country of origin. From the 15th to the 16th centuries, European navigators opened up new routes one after another and discovered the New World of America, and chili peppers were thus spread from the American continent to other parts of the world. At the end of the 16th century, chili peppers were able to enter China by sea, reaching the southeast coast before further spreading to the inland areas in the northwest and southwest.
When chili peppers were first introduced to China, they were a feast only for the eyes. During Emperor Qianlongs reign (r. 1736-1796), they began to be consumed as a vegetable, and it was after Daoguangs reign (r. 1821-1850) that chili peppers became a common food in China.
Chinese spiciness is known to have different shades. Sichuan spicy flavor accentuates a numbing spiciness. Hunans is strong, Hubeis dry, and Jiangxis fragrant. The spiciness of Yunnan and Guizhou is more of a sour kind, and that of the northeast China is pungent. While for Changshan, its spiciness features freshness, which comes from good ingredients, unique seasoning spices and perfect cooking skills. Over the years, "fresh and spicy" characterizes "ten big bowls", classical Changshan dishes loved by people from all over the world.
