The steamed buns in Weifang, Shandong are the same as the steamed buns in Heze, Shandong.

Steamed buns are one of the traditional Chinese noodles. They are steamed foods made from fermented noodles. Steamed buns are made of wheat flour as the main raw material and are one of the daily staple foods of Chinese people.

Steamed buns originated from human head sacrifices in barbaric times. It is said that they were invented by Zhuge Liang when he was conquering Meng Huo. They were shaped like human heads. Later, with the development of history, they were gradually changed to poultry stuffing. But the history of Chinese people eating steamed buns can be traced back at least to the Warring States Period, when they were called "steamed buns." During the Three Kingdoms period, steamed buns had their own official name, called "mantou".
