Who is the inventor of steamed bread?

1, the inventor of steamed bread is Zhuge Liang. Gao Cheng's Jiyuan Incident records that Zhuge Liang was unable to cross the river when recruiting troops in the south. Meng Huo said it was an evil spirit. As long as the head and livestock were sacrificed, it would be calm. However, Zhuge Liang thought it was too cruel to use people's heads, so he rubbed them with flour and mixed them with beef, sheep and other meat instead, and named them steamed bread.

2. Steamed bread, called "steamed bread" in ancient times, or "steamed bread" or "steamed bread", is the real name of one of the traditional pasta in China, and it 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.

3. 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 "steamed bread". In the manuscript revised seven times, Lang Ying of Amin Dynasty wrote: "The real name of steamed bread is steamed bread, which is a sacrifice to the gods with human heads. Zhuge Zhi levied Meng Huo, and ordered bread and meat as the head sacrifice, which was called "steamed bread", and now it is also steamed bread. "

At first, the word "steamed bread" only refers to steamed bread with stuffing, but now northerners call it "steamed bread". The word "steamed bread" began in the Song Dynasty, and the names of "steamed bread" and "steamed bread" gradually differentiated in the Qing Dynasty. In Wuyu District and other places, the old name is still retained, and those with stuffing are called "steamed bread", such as "raw fried steamed bread" and "crab powder steamed bread".
