Goubuli steamed bun is a snack made of flour, pork and other materials. It was founded in 1858 (Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty). It is the first of the "three wonders of Tianjin" and one of the old Chinese brands. The dough and stuffing of Goubuli steamed buns are carefully selected, the production process is strict, and the appearance is beautiful. Especially, the folds of steamed buns are symmetrical. Each steamed bun has no less than 15 folds .

The newly stuffed steamed stuffed bun is fresh but not greasy, and has a delicate fragrance. Goubuli steamed buns are mainly made of fresh meat, including three kinds of steamed buns, seafood steamed buns, sauced meat steamed buns, vegetable steamed buns and 98 varieties. In November 2011, the State Council announced the third batch of national intangible cultural heritage list, "Goubuli steamed bun traditional handicraft" project was included.

In 1831, Gao Guiyou, the founder of "Goubuli Baozi", was born in Xiazhuzhuang, Wuqing County, Zhili (now Wuqing District, Tianjin). Because of his father's forty-year-old son, he adopted his nickname "Dog Son" for the sake of safety, expecting him to feed as well as a puppy.

When Gao Guiyou was 14 years old, he went to the Liu family on the edge of the south canal of Tianjin and steamed food shop as a small boy. Because of the ingenuity and diligence of mind, coupled with the guidance of teachers, noble friends make steamed buns continuously improve their skills and practice a good job. After three years of being a teacher, Gao Gai opened a snack shop specializing in baozi alone -- "de Ju Hao". Because noble friends have good craftsmanship, do things very seriously, never adulterate, the steamed buns are soft in taste, delicious and not greasy, like chrysanthemum, color, fragrance and shape are unique, business is very prosperous. More and more people came to eat his steamed buns, and noble friends were too busy to talk to customers. In this way, people who ate steamed buns jokingly called him "dog sells steamed buns, ignoring people". Over time, people shouted smoothly and called him "Goubuli". They called his steamed buns "Goubuli Steamed buns". However, the name of the original shop was gradually forgotten.

When Gao Guiyou started the "Deju" snack shop, he mixed fresh pork with proper amount of water, rib soup or belly soup, millet oil, special soy sauce, ginger powder, onion powder and seasoning to make stuffed buns. The steamed bun skin is made of half-haired surface. After rubbing and dispensing, it is rolled into a round skin with a diameter of about 8.5 centimeters and uniform thickness. Wrap in stuffing, knead carefully with your fingers, and twist the folds hard. The folds are dense and uniform, such as chrysanthemum, and finally steamed in a stove with hard gas.

In 1916 (five years of the Republic of China), Gao Jinming, the son of Gao Jinming, who died of noble friend's illness, inherited the industry and set up a semicolon on Dongjie Street in Nanshi next year. In 1932 (twenty-one years of the Republic of China), the Hou family was moved to the north gate pass. In 1937 (26 years of the Republic of China), the old number and semicolon were merged and relocated to the back door of Tianxiang Mall (Liaoning Road today) to establish a new name "Deju Number". In 1947 (thirty-six years of the Republic of China), Gao Huanwen, the son of Gao Jin Ming, inherited the industry and went out of business until 1952. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, in 1956, Tianjin nationalized Goubuli steamed buns and relocated the shops to Shandong Road, Heping District, and then set up branches in Nanshi Food Street. In 2001, "Goubuli" head office was expanded.

With the development of "Goubuli", the varieties managed are also innovating on the basis of inheriting the tradition, gradually forming six categories and 98 varieties of steamed buns. Technicians elaborately developed chicken, duck, fish, meat, seafood and seasonal vegetables, wild vegetables, fungi as raw materials, using steaming, boiling, roasting, braising and other cooking techniques to make "golden needle bag", "dragon and Phoenix bag", "mandarin duck bag", "celery bag", "assorted brocade bag" and "shrimp and leek bag"
