Bakpao is a typical People's Republic of China (PRC). Food is derived from the words and david vessel, which in Chinese means the vessel is a pig is Bak And Pao. Marketing bakpao is wrapped with the pork.

Origins bakpao actually comes from Zhuge Liang (181 - 234) one of the best Chinese strategic experts, as well as the prime chancellor, engineer, scientist, inventor and legendary bakpao.

In the age of three countries (thin sam) had large-scale rebellion in the south of China, Chinese prime ministry at that time, Zhuge Liang ask permission to emperor, Liu Chan to quell the rebellion in the south, known as "The Southern Campaign" Interest the south is also called "Nanman" or "barbarian people from the south." King of areas in the south rebelled is called Meng Huo.

Not long after Liang in the region to the south, have overcome Liang Meng Huo 7 times and lead to up to 7 times as well, where the exemption seven Meng Huo eventually surrendered and pledged will not rise again to Guo Shu (when it is not there because of a Zhong Guo China is still split into three countries: Shu, Wu, Wei).

While exempt Meng Huo, Zhuge Liang is always opposed by the general: "Why is he released? What if he rebelled again? ", Liang calmly replied:" I can easily perceives as easy to hand back from the pocket. Now she is overcome heart.

Zhuge Liang knew Meng Huo arrested and killed, there will be a replacement for Meng Huo other that will lead to rebellion Shu, because he thought it better to create regional leaders south of the influential pro-Meng Huo to him that can lead to the southern regions loyal to Shu.

In the last war the seventh time; make Zhuge Liang Meng Huo into a valley surrounded by mountains, the valleys of the Liang put the train of food. When he saw the train, Meng Huo directly interested and lead the team into the valley.

After the troops Meng Huo near car of food, the fact that the train did not contain gunpowder, but the food! Simply Shu troops have been waiting at the foot of the mountain to shooting the train-car full of gunpowder with fire arrows. There was a massive explosion in the valley, and a glance into the valley is a sea of fire, kill almost all the troops Meng Huo.

This victory does not make happy Liang, it is only a little regret: "Jasaku to very large countries, but also very big sin to heaven; hopefully Heaven deign sorry because I only run the obligation to maintain security of the country." After this incident, Meng Huo troops arrested again Liang.

When Meng Huo Liang meet, he immediately release the rope ties Meng Huo and said: "Please go and prepare your team for the new put-off again," Meng Huo hear it again and said: "Seven times caught, also released seven times!

Incidents such as this should not and will not ever happen! Although I do not have customs, I still have a religious ceremony that respects ethics. No, I do not like it! After the incident, the southern tribes rebelled never again to Shu

When the trip will return to Cheng Du (the capital of Shu), Zhuge Liang must pass through large rivers. In the river Liang restrained because there is big waves and storm when the troops would cross the Shu. Zhuge Liang and then ask the opinion of Meng Huo took the lead and Meng Huo Liang said: "Since the days of our ancestors, people who want to go through the river must throw 50 to the head of the human spirit to the river."

Because Liang did not want to create more bloodshed, he made cakes that resemble the human head: round, but the flat at bottom, cakes and this is not another bakpao (baozi). Letter mandarin mantao actually comes from the words of the barbarian, and Mantou itself is a kind bakpao but no content of the meat.
