Steamed bread, called steamed bread in ancient times, is the original name of "steamed bread" and is a kind of food steamed with fermented flour. Steamed bread with wheat flour as the main raw material is one of the daily staple foods of China people.
Steamed bread originated from the head sacrifice in barbaric times and was invented by Zhuge Liang when he surrendered Meng Huo. It's shaped like a head, and then gradually turned into poultry stuffing with the development of history. 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 Ming Dynasty, Lang Ying wrote in "Seven Drafts": "The real name of steamed bread is Tou Man, which worships the gods with the head. Zhuge Zhi levied Meng Huo, and ordered that "Tou Man" took bread and meat as its head, and now it is steamed bread. "
