Q: How do you feel about your weaving culture?
A: Fabrics come in a variety of styles. Each stage of life is tied with a unique fabric. Life is a constant cycle. Ancestral spirits weave our lives together. It is a circle after weaving. It is possible to weave a wooden box and a few pillars. Because the environment and the manufactured goods are inextricably intertwined, it provides a unique perspective. Life is the prototype, and the first and last lines are linked, everything is connected.
Q: What difficulties have you encountered in this industry, and are there any restrictions? 
A: Back on the mountain, I came into a group of six young people who had gathered for weaving. We all came from different tribes. In the morning, we harvest fruit, and in the evening, we learn to weave. At that time the government did not encourage weaving and was not favored for it. So the six young individuals witnessed the culture wither, sort it out, and assign jobs.
Q: (Continuing from above) What is the purpose of weaving?
A: When I’m firstborn my grandmother weaved me a swaddle cloth, until I got married I needed to make my wedding cloth, my learning to weave, and before I passed away I needed to weave my hand-made cloth, so my family can wrap me with it. The strings are like a rotation, it weaves my birth and death.
Q: How is the work woven?
A: A plant called ramie would be planted, then I’ll select appropriate ramies and split the yarns, and connect them back together again. After that, I twist the yarn of the ramie to make it stable and cook the yarns and dry them up under the sun. Then it’s ready for me to warp the thread and weave in different ways, like using the Atayal’s traditional back-strap loom or other procedures.
Q: (Continuing) What materials are there? How to get it?
A: Ramie fiber, obtained from a plant called ramie, will be planted and harvested 3 to 5 times a year.
Q: What is the process of dying and weaving?
A: In the earlier stage of Atayal’s dying culture, the Atayals use natural pigments gathered from plant roots, stems, or leaves, the colors are recorded from their ancestors and represent the rainbow bridge that connects to their very first ancestors.
Q: How long does it usually take to make work?
A: It depends on what kinds of cloth I’m making, for example, if it’s a swaddle cloth I just need 1 day to finish it, but if it’s a wedding cloth I need a few months to finish up all pattern and parts of the cloth, not counting time to prepare all the materials.
Q: How do you choose the totems and colors to weave?
A: Depending on what the clothes are for, different totems represent different cultures and meanings due to the different patterns and colors.
Q: How did Atayal weaving culture develop?
A: The first weaving techniques were used to deliver their thoughts to families, their village community was located at Da’an River, where they have their kind of rattan, they use them to make clothes to deliver their love to their husband and child.
Q: Does the pattern on each dyeing and weaving have any special meaning?
A: Yes, different parts of the Atayal culture will be connected to different patterns, and the colors show different meanings inside depending on which person I’m giving it to and the purpose of the handmade work.

A: There are plenty of different knitting methods, and they all point out different patterns and require different machines. The easier the machine looks, the harder it is to weave, and the more complicated techniques.
