This kind of clothes is carved with shells or small round beads with holes, worn with hemp thread and sewn on the clothes according to horizontal lines. A beaded coat needs about 50,000 to 60,000 beads. In the past, it was usually used to make clothes for chiefs or heads of families. Take the current series as an example, the collarless sleeveless buttonless double-breasted gown is 100 cm long and 44 cm wide. With the original white linen woven with red patterns as the bottom, the whole body is covered with pearl strings polished and cut by shells, with more than 2,700 rows of about 80,000 pearls; The back is decorated with three rows of copper bell beads, each with four strings. Because there are many shells and beads, it takes a long time to make, so it is very valuable. Judging from the shape of the shell clothes, the shell clothes of the Atayal people are white and dazzling, and they are arranged horizontally and neatly, giving people a pure and beautiful feeling. However, orange, yellow and green are the common colors of paiwan shell clothing. In recent years, some of them are mostly black and dark yellow, with more meticulous workmanship, more patterns and more delicate and transparent beads, showing the pursuit of gorgeous style. The ancient beaded clothes were flat and long, plain and obscure, but the locals took the ancient beaded clothes as precious and proud. This is related to the simple folk custom of ancestor worship. Shell clothing has a long history. Gong Yu, one of China's earliest geographical works, records that "the island is clothed with flowers, and the basket weaves shellfish". If you mean this shell coat, it has a history of more than two thousand years. Shell clothing can sometimes be used as currency, but it is more of an aesthetic appreciation value and a contribution of Gaoshan people to China culture.

Generally, women of brotherly nationalities like to take flowers as the crown, while men of Gaoshan nationality take flowers as the crown, which can be said to be a feature. Men in some tribes also wear earrings, headdresses, foot ornaments, armbands and bracelets, which are colorful. The women's dresses of Gaoshan nationality are basically open-chested, and the skirts and sleeves are embroidered with exquisite and beautiful geometric patterns. This cardigan suit is suitable for subtropical climate, which can not only quickly dissipate heat and cool down, but also easily show the plump and solid figure of the upper body of the human body, making people feel lively, free and charming. Women wear knee-length shorts, beads, bracelets, gorgeous belts and garlands around their necks. Its hat is also very distinctive. Men wear rattan hats when they go up the mountain. There is a circular pattern on the top of the hat, which is a symbol of Yamei totem. Gaoshan people like to wear tall silver helmets when offering sacrifices. A silver helmet is a record of wealth accumulation. They cast the silver coins exchanged in kind into silver rings and made helmets, which were handed down from generation to generation and future generations. The heir adds at least one ring to the helmet, and the son divides the silver helmet into rings and distributes them to his son. On this basis, a new helmet was cast and passed down from generation to generation. People often wear this kind of silver helmet when they hold various festivals or launch new boats. This is a symbol of hard work, thrift and wealth. There are still some differences in the costumes of Gaoshan tribes. Clothing is the symbol of culture and the externalization of national aesthetic characteristics. The costumes of Gaoshan ethnic group pursue diversified colors and gorgeous styles.
