Description
Among the various ethnic groups, Thao has the smallest population in Taiwan. The Thao people live mainly in Barawbaw, Sun Moon Lake and Tapina, Dingkan, Shuili Township in Nantou County. Legend has it that the Thao ancestors came to Sun Moon Lake chasing after a white deer. Impressed by its scenery and fertile soil, the tribe moved and settled by the Lake. During the period of Japanese colonization, the Thao villages around the Lake, including Tarinkuan, were submerged due to the construction of the Sun Moon Lake Power Plant. Prior to the construction, Thao were moved to Barawbaw, later re-named Dehua or Sun Moon village, which has since become their largest community. Ancestor worship forms the core of the Thao religion. Every household has an “ulalaluan,” a rattan basket in which they believe dwell the ancestral spirits of the family. Besides household ancestral spirits are clan ancestral spirits and the supreme ancestral spirit . The latter is the one from whom the whole Thao descended. He dwells inside a red cedar tree on Lalu in the middle of the Lake. He has the power to exorcise evil spirits and thus protect his people.
