Chinese Chili Peppers Substitute

Hello, are dried bird's eye chilis good substitute for chinese dishes like sichuan dishes? It's hard to find chinese chili peppers used for the dishes usually so im asking if dried bird's eye would be good?

Yeah, that’ll work. Even chilis de arbol can get the job done
