This article was written by more than the author and they have provided an insightful explanation of the meaning of Chinese Hot Pot. According to Wu and his co-authors, the idea of Chinese Hotpot was conceived more than 1000 years ago. As a matter of facts, the origin of the Chinese hot can be traced back to the days of Jin Dynasty. The author of this article has pointed that the roots of Hot Pot can be found in the Mongolian horsemen dining practices. It is believed that these Mongolian horsemen were able to drive through the steppe and also into the Northern part of China. Those who were there during those days have pointed out that these Mongols were using their helmets as the pots for simmering the broth on the open fires, and the chunks of meat were cooked in the broth.

Chongqing which is also being referred to as the Sichuan is the most common variety of Hot Pot.
