There are several names for these chiles which are used in many east Asian cuisines. Generically they are just 'dried red chiles'. Also Thai bird chiles.

Are you kidding me, chinese food isn't as hot compared to indian... To the question, you can reduce the spicy feeling in your mouth by avoiding drinking anything fizzy or carbonated or even sweet. I think cold water is the best to reduce the spicy taste. Milk is even better, but it probably tastes weird during chinese food. Or you can just eat the whole pepper in a go and take it like a man! Good Luck...

It is usually "huaijiao" used in Szechuan plates but you can also find "hoisin" which is a sauce that does include chili peppers. Below you'll find pictures of different hot pepper varieties and some are very easy to grow in your house like the riot pepper which you can grow indoors in your kitchen and give a great look before you pick them and use them right there. They are medium spice.

The dried ones are called 'Jap chilies'. The fresh ones are Thai or Bird's eye chilies. These can be green (very very hot) or Red (very hot). Immature green peppers are hotter as a protective device. Most of the heat is in the seeds and pulpy ribs, The flesh is less hot

They are also know as "Firecracker Peppers", different from the Thai Bird chili's by a long shot, not as pungent or spicy, more smoky and are used whole or ground ito a paste and mixed with garlic, or with garlic, ginger, peanuts and spices, Chili-Garlic sauce is well known the other is not, but can be used for marinating or in a finishing sauce for beef or chicken.
Whole or broken chilis do not release as much heat as ground one's as the seeds and the membranes ar not disturbed, fresh chilis are a bit different and acan be stronger because as they dry the pungent oils are leeched out.
I was a chef in Canada for 20 yrs and am still fond of Asian food and ingredients and keep many sauces and ried chilis both whoe/Broken and flaked around for all my food prep.
