	'''Goubuli Baozi''' (Simplified ~~Chinese: 狗不理包子;~~ Traditional Chinese: 狗不理包子; Pinyin: ''Gǒubulǐ bāozi'') are Tianjin's best-known stuffed steamed buns, ~~associated with~~ the historic Goubuli ~~("Dog Won't Pay Attention")~~ shop brand and treated as a civic snack ~~emblem on~~ [[Tianjin Food]].<ref name="wp">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goubuli English Wikipedia]</ref>		'''Goubuli Baozi''' (Simplified/Traditional Chinese: 狗不理包子; Pinyin: ''Gǒubulǐ bāozi'') are Tianjin's best-known stuffed steamed buns, linked to the historic Goubuli shop brand and treated as a civic snack emblem—often named first among the rhetorical Tianjin Three Uniques—on [[Tianjin Food]]. The name now covers both a China Time-Honored Brand story and a wider Tianjin-style baozi identity in everyday speech.<ref name="wp">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goubuli English Wikipedia: Goubuli]</ref>

	~~Pleated bao with juicy pork filling; wrappers~~ are soft steamed wheat dough. ~~Portion size~~ and ~~pleat count are points~~ of shop pride.		Wrappers are soft steamed wheat dough; fillings are classically juicy minced pork with ginger and savory seasonings, though shops also offer seafood, mixed, and vegetarian lines. Craft talk emphasizes even chrysanthemum pleats: brand and ICH descriptions commonly cite a minimum of about fifteen folds per bun (eighteen is a frequently repeated shop number)—a visual pride marker, not a legal definition of every Tianjin bao.<ref name="ih">[https://www.ihchina.cn/Article/Index/detail?id=14644 China ICH: Tianjin Goubuli bun craft notes]</ref>

			Compared with [[Xiaolongbao]], Goubuli buns are larger everyday bao with thicker pleated skins rather than paper-thin soup dumplings; compared with [[Shengjianbao]], they are steamed, not pan-fried on a crisp bottom.

Encyclopedic overview only: wheat dough (often described in craft texts as a semi-leavened water-filling bun dough tradition); minced pork; ginger; soy; sesame oil; stock jelly in many juicy styles.

Civic and brand narratives place founding in mid-nineteenth-century Tianjin with Gao Guiyou (childhood nickname Gouzi), who opened a bun shop remembered as Dejuhao. Folk etymology says customers joked that the busy seller would not bother answering them—hence Goubuli—an explanatory legend widely retold in archives and encyclopedia pages, not a notarized trademark filing from a single day.<ref name="tjdag">[https://www.tjdag.gov.cn/fz_tjdfz/tjsq/ttcp/details/1596620450088.html Tianjin Archives local-product note]</ref><ref name="wp" />

			Twentieth-century shop moves, public ownership reorganization in the 1950s, later brand restructuring, and export of frozen buns turned a canal-side snack into a national chain identity. In 2008 an English shop rendering Go Believe drew public debate; it is a marketing translation, not the historical Chinese name.<ref name="wp" /> Traditional bun-making skill associated with the Tianjin Goubuli line was listed in China's national intangible cultural heritage inventory in 2011—soft heritage framing for craft transmission.<ref name="ih" />

			On [[Tianjin Food]] the buns stand with [[Mahua]] as portable city symbols for visitors and breakfast queues alike.
