The nine ethnic minorities in Taiwan Province Province are equal, so they are called "Nine Ethnic Groups".

Dawu, formerly known as Ami, is the only ethnic minority in Taiwan Province Province who originally lived in Lan Yu Island. They can carve a small wooden boat out of a whole piece of wood, and casting nets for fishing is their specialty.

Ami is the most populous minority in Taiwan Province Province, which is distributed in Hualien and Taitung areas south of Wuxi.

Atayal people live in the mountainous area north of Puli, with a population of less than 10,000, but they are the second largest minority in Taiwan Province Province. Militarism is a very special custom of Atayal people. Women are good at knitting, and their knitting skills are the most exquisite among all ethnic groups.

Paiwan is the third largest minority in Taiwan Province Province, and stone carving and wood carving are their traditional crafts.

Xia Sai ethnic group is distributed in the mountainous areas of Hsinchu and Miaoli. Up to now, the clan still retains its most mysterious and special sacrifice "Dwarf Sacrifice", which is held every two years.

Zou nationality, formerly known as Cao nationality, mostly lives in the southwest of Yushan and Alishan area. Where they met, there were tribal symbols of the enemy's head cage and fire box, all of which were related to war. Weaving baskets with rattan and bamboo, making pottery and spinning are all women's jobs.

Bunun is the highest ethnic group in Taiwan Province Province. The songs of Bunun people when they pray for a bumper harvest of millet are the world-famous "eight-part chorus", also called Bunun chorus.

The northern and southern ethnic groups in Taitung Plain have long accepted the sinicization and farming techniques. In social organizations, clubs are their political and economic centers.

Rukai nationality, distributed in the southern section of the central mountain range. In the performance of primitive art, it is very excellent and delicate, especially women's weaving and men's woodcarving.

In addition to the above nine ethnic tribes, there is also the Shao nationality we know, and the Jiuzu Cultural Village also has a place for the Shao nationality. His population is extremely sparse, and he is a nation with only a few hundred families left, but he is deeply sinicized. It is said that their ancestors were descendants of the Yue people during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Shaoxing, the capital of the ancient Yue State, seems to have some unknown relationship with the Shao nationality. Taiwan Province provincial authorities are considering listing him as the 10 ethnic minority and giving him official recognition.

In many textbooks in Chinese mainland, it is said that there are 56 ethnic minorities in China, and the nine ethnic tribes in Taiwan Province Province are collectively called "Gaoshan".
