[quote=LOVECHINA2 ,28598]Dreamcatcher, The story I have about Mantou is "In the Three Kingdoms Period when Zhuge Liang led the Shu army against a barbarian king,Meng Huo in the southern lands(Yunnan).After winning the battle he headed home but come to a swift running river that he could not cross.Zhuge Liang was told if he sacrifice 50 men and throw their heads in the river that it would please the river god and he would be allowed to cross.Zhuge Liang did not want to shed anymore blood so he ordered Mantou buns to be made in the shape of heads and thrown in the river instead."[/quote]
