Why has "doge's bun" become the iconic food culture of Tianjin?

Dog's Nai Buns refers to Dog's Nai Buns (a Tianjin, China flavor snack). Many people have heard of "doge's buns" and know that they are a very famous snack in Tianjin. Some people even make fun of it, but "doge's bun" is not what many people think. Many people don't understand the real meaning of "doggie buns".

Legend has it that a father in his 40s finally had a son. In order to bless his child and hope that his child grows up healthy and happy, he named the child "Dogzi" because at that time, everyone thought that the simpler and more casual the child's name, the better it would be to feed him. When he grew up, the dog went to work in a baozi store in Tianjin. He was very smart and learned all the skills of his master. Later, he opened a baozi store and improved the skills he had learned. Finally, he made his own baozi store. Because the improved buns tasted so good, they were popular with everyone, and his bun store got so busy that he didn't have time to talk to everyone when many customers came in. As time went by, everyone called him "Dog Li" and "Dog Li Baozi", which became very popular in Tianjin.

The dog bun is a snack made of flour, pork and other ingredients. It was first created in 1858 AD (the year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty). It has a history of more than 100 years, and is the first of the "Three Outlines of Tianjin" and one of China's oldest brands. The buns are made of selected flour and fillings, with strict production process and beautiful appearance, especially the proportion of bun folds is well proportioned, and each bun has no less than 15 folds.

The freshly baked buns are fresh but not greasy and have a pleasant aroma. The Dog's Buns are mainly fresh meat steamed buns, and there are 98 varieties in 6 categories, including 3 fresh meat steamed buns, seafood steamed buns, cured meat steamed buns and vegetarian steamed buns.In November 2011, the State Council announced the third batch of national intangible cultural heritage list, which includes the "Traditional Handmade Craftsmanship of Dog's Buns " project.
