Group 1 - The recent introduction of a new dish named "Shuixing Yanghua" by Banu Hotpot has sparked controversy due to its ambiguous name, leading to customer complaints and subsequent renaming of the dish to "Haicaihua" [1] - The dish, which is a type of aquatic plant known as Haicaihua, is native to Yunnan and is characterized by its long stems and soft leaves that sway in the water, with only the flower buds floating on the surface [2] - The name "Shuixing Yanghua" was deemed potentially offensive outside of Yunnan, prompting the restaurant to remove the dish from its menu and update all related materials [1] Group 2 - Haicaihua, despite its name containing "sea," refers to a freshwater plant in Yunnan dialect, indicating its growth in lakes rather than the ocean [2] - The flowering period of Haicaihua lasts from May to October, producing small white flowers that bloom during the day and close at night, creating a unique visual [2] - The edible parts of Haicaihua are primarily the flower stalks and unopened flower buds, while the flowers themselves are prone to spoilage, making the dish outside its native region typically consist of stalks without flowers [2]
