A East Asian wheat-wrapper

Chinese wheat-dough foods (bing) splitting into mantou/baozi, jiaozi, hundun/wonton and shaomai, anchored by Tang dumplings and wontons from the Astana tombs at Turpan; spread across East and Southeast Asia and later with the Chinese and Japanese diasporas.

Routes: Han/Tang wheat corridor (Silk Road), Mongol and Turkic conduits, 19th–20th-century migrations
