Steamed bread, originally called steamed bread, or cage cake, was invented by Zhuge Liang. They are a staple food with strong satiety, a traditional food in China and an indispensable food in people's lives. Steamed buns are wrapped in flour and stuffing, and made of meat or vegetarian stuffing. Steamed buns are thin and stuffed, soft and delicious. You can also make various patterns. Naive, animals, plants, flowers, all kinds of patterns for people to taste.
The word "steamed stuffed bun" first appeared in the Song Dynasty, and used to be mainly called steamed bread. Legend has it that Zhuge Liang invented it when he surrendered Meng Huo, and it was shaped like a human head. Later, with the development of history, it was gradually changed into poultry stuffing. However, the history of China people eating steamed bread can be traced back at least to the Warring States period, when it was called "steamed cake". During the Three Kingdoms period, steamed bread had its own official name, called "Tou Man". In the "Seven Manuscripts" of the Ming Dynasty, Lang Ying wrote: "The real name of steamed bread is Tou Man, Zhuge Zhi's levy of Meng Huo, and he was ordered to sacrifice bread and meat as the head, which is called Tou Man, and now it is also steamed bread." After the name "Xiaolongbao" appeared in the Song Dynasty, the names of "Xiaolongbao" have been parallel. It was not until the Qing Dynasty that the appellations of "Xiaolongbao" and "Xiaolongbao" gradually diverged.
