Sichuan, one of the largest provinces is the home of the most savory and spicy food found in China. However, there is more than just piquancy to their culinary, more than what is called "ma", a little word that means the hot Sichuan taste. There are many distinctive flavors and a fascinating variety of dishes; they have locals bragging that their cuisine includes more than five thousand different dishes and more subtle culinary techniques than anywhere else in China. Many outsiders agree with them.
四川作为中国最大的省份之一，孕育出了全中国最辣最美味的菜肴。其实，除了“麻”、“辣”，由很多道菜肴组成的川菜是可以细分出各种不同风味滴~当地人甚至这样自夸：川菜有超过5000道菜肴，烹饪技巧是所有菜系中最复杂最精妙的。其实，这样的说法不只是自夸，也是得到广泛的认可哦~
Perhaps the best known dish is Mapo Doufu. It gained in popularity when a pock-marked woman who lived near the Wanfu Bridge opened and ran a restaurant there, circa the 19th century. She served many kinds of bean curd dishes but perhaps the one most liked whose fame spread to the rest of China, got the name of Pock-faced Lady Doufu, better known by its Chinese name of Mapo Doufu.
川菜中最家喻户晓的要数麻婆豆腐了。它的渊源可以追溯到大约19世纪，那时在成都的万福桥边，有一个脸上长着麻子的婆婆，开了一家饭馆。饭馆里供应各种用豆腐做成的菜肴，其中麻婆豆腐是最受欢迎的并且后来名扬全国，这道菜得名字就是这样来的~
