Past Truku female should learn weaving since childhood and master skill, otherwise they would be discriminated, not able to pass hakaw utux to the paradize after death, who passing it should know the weaving skill of miri ratuk and pala msabung. Traditional Truku weaving requires trivial and strict process, and a good work would be made with each step and each phase treated seriously (Ching-hsiang Hu, Episode 1 of Traditional Truku Songs).

Truku people would grow ramie in the past accroding to the environment, but Japanese regarded ramie spinning as time consuming, then depreciated the living skill and prohibitted development of the culture during occupation. The clansman were forced to move down the hill and learn cultivation. In interviewing Mrs. A-hsueh Liang Li from Hongyeh Village, Wanrong Township, she insists in weaving completely following original approach, namely, twisting hair cords from planted ramie to be flax thread as the weaving material, weaving flax thread to be a whole piece via traditional weaving tools. In the interview of weavers using ramie as material, Mrs. A-hsueh Liang Li (yuyuh) from Hongyeh Village, Wanrong Township and Mrs. Lan-mei Huang (yapon) from Fushih Village, Shioulin Township are revealed to be the left two elderlys in Hualien County, who possess traditional advantages different from other weavers, planting ramie in field and using traditional weaving machine, which were given up by weavers because of time consumption and upgraded to current cotton thread or caddice sold in market as well as improved weaving machine (desktop and floor) for operation.

It is impossible to go through the whole weaving process of Truku in such a short time. Here we should give our appreciation to Principle Cheng-guang Ke of Lunshan Elementary School, Hualien County, who once recordes the whole weaving process of tribes in the Shanli Village of Chosi Township. He produced  “Making Rainbow with Ramie - Shanli Tribe”, regarded as an important reference, so that we contacted him by phone specifically when he expressed his wish to spread the excellent tribe culture via the website. Also we would thank Ms. Shu-jun Hua of our school for buying "Making Ramie Cloth: A Hui Feels Happy in “Cutting”" that enabled the students to view the weaving process of Mrs. Lan-mei Huang from Shioulin Township before interview and experience by themselves.
