Nitpick: Hunan cuisine makes significant use of Sichuan peppers for some flavors, not just chili peppers. Sichuan peppers are unrelated to chili peppers, and are harvested from plants which are native to eastern Asia -- it was probably used in Chinese cuisine long before chili peppers were first imported.
