據(jù)史料記載，辣椒原產(chǎn)于中南美洲熱帶地區(qū)，原產(chǎn)國是墨西哥。公元15世紀(jì)至16世紀(jì)，歐洲的航海家們陸續(xù)開辟新航路，發(fā)現(xiàn)了美洲新大陸，使得原生于美洲大陸的辣椒傳入世界其他地區(qū)。16世紀(jì)末，中國正處于開放海禁的明代后期（隆慶至萬歷年間），與歐洲商人的貿(mào)易使得辣椒經(jīng)海路進(jìn)入中國，并從東南沿海逐步向西北、西南內(nèi)陸輸送傳播。

辣椒最早傳入中國的時(shí)候并不是用來吃的，而是用來觀賞的。清乾隆年間，辣椒最早作為一種蔬菜被中國人食用，國內(nèi)普遍開始吃辣椒則是在道光以后。

我們知道，川之辣，在麻;湘之辣，在烈;鄂之辣，在干;贛之辣，在香;云貴之辣，在酸;東北之辣，在辛。而常山之辣，主要在鮮。浙江常山是中國鮮辣文化的發(fā)祥地。這鮮，鮮在一方好山好水賜予的新鮮優(yōu)質(zhì)食材，鮮在千年古縣世代相傳的獨(dú)特調(diào)味佐料，鮮在這方水土祖輩傳承的烹飪技術(shù)。多年來，以“鮮辣”為特色的常山將軍魚等“十大碗”享有盛名，深受各地賓朋喜愛。

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.
