中国幅员辽阔,历史悠久,自然环境多种多样,社会经济状况也不尽相同。在漫长的历史发展历程中,各地逐渐形成不同的饮食结构与饮食口味。为探明湖南、四川两地不同嗜辣口味中蕴含的地理信息,通过建立喜辣程度、嗜辣口味等指标,利用调查问卷的方法分析了两地嗜辣口味的差异性,结果表明该差异性是由不同的地形地貌、温度湿度、作物种植、交通运输条件、文化习俗等综合因素导致的,反映出饮食口味与地理环境的深刻关联性,为进一步探索湖南、四川两地的饮食文化奠定了基础。

China has a vast land, long historical standing and a variety of ecosystems and socioeconomic status. Different diets and dietary tastes are gradually formed during the long historical development process among different districts. In order to find out the geographic information rooted in the spicy flavors in Hunan and Sichuan, we analyzed the differences of the spicy tastes among these two districts by using the methods of questionnaire and establishing love for the ＂hot＂ flavor, the choice of spicy tastes and addiction to spicy tastes index. Results show that the difference is formed by the different topography, temperature and humidity, crop planting, transport conditions, cultural practices. It revels the profound relevance between food tastes and geographical environments, laid a foundation for further exploration of diet cultures in Hunan, Sichuan.
