Comparatively speaking, paiwan has a profound cultural heritage. In addition to singing and dancing like other aborigines, they also have a noble system, superb carving skills and a grand five-year festival held every five years. The Laval people in Beipaiwan are a nation. Because they are close to the Rukai people in Wutai Township, they often intermarry, such as wearing lilies and inheriting the eldest son, and they are culturally influenced by the Rukai people. The Paiwan culture in Beipaiwan is full of vitality and creativity under the advocacy of the new generation. For example, the production of pottery pots and glazed beads was revived with the efforts of the people in Beipaiwan. Nanpaiwan Peony Township is famous in history. During the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, the Japanese invasion of the peninsula triggered the Peony Society incident, which became an international event and was a heroic deed of the aborigines against Japan.

The most striking thing about paiwan is its gorgeous clothes. It takes half a year's hard work and time for a woman in paiwan to put on a glazed bead or embroidered thread full of patterns and a gorgeous dress, and everyone's patterns are different, which also shows the creativity of paiwan people and the uniqueness of highlighting their own aesthetic feeling. Ornaments are mainly divided into: natural ornaments, including flowers, feathers, fur, animal teeth, leopard skin, etc., which are exclusively used by nobles, while glass beads and shellfish are only used by nobles. Embroidery: men and women embroider clothes, ribbons, embroidered funeral towels, etc. One set per person, non-transferable.

Besides clothing, wood carving is the most praised by the world. There are buildings (such as lintels and stiles), furniture (including cups, spoons and combs), weapons (decorative knives), religious appliances and decorative sculptures. The main themes of sculpture are myths and legends, hunting life and ancestor statues. The most common statues are human heads and double snakes, followed by nude portraits, animal and snake patterns, diamond patterns and so on. The other is body art, which is what most people call tattoos. It is displayed on the back of a woman's hand and on the chest and back of a man. All the nobles in the village may have special achievements, and the leader gave them the right to decorate their bodies. Social System paiwan belongs to the class system, which can be roughly divided into four classes: leaders, nobles, warriors and civilians. The aristocratic class has the patent right of special decoration, and the leaders and nobles also enjoy the privilege of decoration, such as eagle feathers, noble glass beads and special patterns (head patterns, snake patterns). The aristocratic class pays attention to the right family, and regards marriage between the same class as an ideal marriage form. You can expand your territory through marriage. People with low class want to marry people with higher class to improve their class, so there will be interesting phenomenon of class rise and fall among married children. The leader is the landlord class, who owns land, rivers and hunting grounds. He is the ruler of a tribe and a symbol of spiritual support. Subordinates farm for them and pay taxes to the leaders, who preside over major tribal affairs, such as wars, ceremonies or diplomatic work with foreign villages. Masarut is held every July-11month, and each village decides on its own. It is to thank the gods for their care and give them the meaning of the new year. But as the dividing line between the end of the year and the beginning of the year. The ceremony was mainly presided over by the priest, and activities such as harvesting millet, selecting millet for sowing and eating new rice were carried out. At present, it is mostly changed to recreational activities such as ballad competition, weight-bearing competition and archery competition. Maleveq, the biggest festival in Paiwan, is also called "Five-year Festival". Legend has it that paiwan's ancestors went to the gods to learn the sacrificial ceremony from the goddess in order to pray for a bumper harvest and learn farming and planting, and agreed with the goddess to burn millet and japonica rice as symbols to invite God to come to earth for a period of time. The five-year sacrifice lasted for more than fifteen days. From the preparation of materials to the completion of sacrifices, a series of activities are dominated by male and female priests, and the whole village participates in all the affairs left to men. Preparations for the festival: building roads on the mountain. Chop bamboo into a thorn stick and set up a thorn table. Make rattan balls. The priest: invite the ancestors. In the competition of the Harvest Festival, you can stab the ball. Send evil spirits (to the west field). Send a good spirit (to the East Field). Stab (the last game). Cut off the stick, make a clean break or it will be considered ominous. Dance at the home of the warrior who stabbed the last ball. After the sacrifice: remove the taboo of five-year sacrifice (by witches). Men go hunting. Return the amulet. Five-year Festival Five-year Festival only exists in Bucaoer Group. At present, only Gu Lou, Lewen, Wang Jia and Nanhe in Laiyi Township, Lili, Qijia and Guichong in Chunri Township, and Tusan in Taitung are holding five-year sacrificial ceremonies. Five-year sacrifice is the concrete expression of paiwan's world outlook, religion and social organization. Pusau tavuvu is said that some of the best gods of ancestors who came back from five-year sacrifice were left to the sixth year. Therefore, there must be a series of ceremonies before the funeral. The number of days is similar to that of the Five-Year Festival, but there is no thorn activity. Saguliu Zheng Qiuxiong, a famous artist, was the first doctor in paiwan.
