What do you mean by aborigines?

The aborigines of Taiwan Province, known as Gaoshan people in Chinese mainland, are one of the 56 ethnic groups in the big family of Chinese nation. Taiwan Province Province, known as the "Mountain Cell", is divided into two groups according to the different regions where it lives: the plain aborigines and the mountain aborigines. At present, the aborigines in Taiwan Province Province are divided into ten ethnic groups: Ami, Paiwan, Beinan, Rukai, Ami, Zou, Bunun, Atayal and Shao. Taiwan Province aborigines have long lived in Bao Dao, Taiwan Province Province, and many of them belong to Austronesian ethnology. Now there are many academic researches. Some tribes of Taiwan Province aborigines belong to Gou Jian, the King of Yue.

Most aborigines in Taiwan Province Province belong to primitive matriarchal society. Women enjoy a lofty position in society and play a leading role in production, while men's main task is hunting. The diet is mainly rice, corn and sweet potato, while fish and meat are non-staple foods. Indigenous people's clothes are very unique. They wear clothes made of linen and deerskin and have the habit of tattooing constantly. But now they wear the same clothes as the Han people. Indigenous houses are relatively simple, usually made of wood, stone and thatch.

The religious belief of aborigines is mainly the worship of nature and soul. Until the Dutch invaded Taiwan Province, the aborigines were still a strong ethnic group in Taiwan Province Province. Later, with Zheng's successful recovery of Taiwan Province Province, a large number of mainland immigrants poured in, intermarried and assimilated with each other, and the number of aborigines gradually decreased, and the proportion of aborigines in the total population of Taiwan Province Province gradually decreased. During the fifty-one years of Japanese occupation of Taiwan Province Province, * * * launched more than 160 so-called "anti-Tibet movements" and implemented the policy of "killing, robbing and burning the aborigines", which made the aborigines almost extinct. According to the statistics of Taiwan Province's Ministry of Interior 1990, there are 345,000 Shan people, accounting for 1.6% of the total population of Taiwan Province.
