The Baibu snake is also regarded as an "elder" by the tribe. It is the patron saint of the tribe and can protect future generations. It has the meaning of worshiping ancestors. In the eyes of the tribe, the character of the Hundred Step Snake is similar to the image of the "leader" - stable, independent and peaceful. They don't attack each other; they don't actively attack others, but they will fight back in time. In addition, the life range of the hundred pace snake is a "forbidden area", and the clansmen are not allowed to interfere. When the image of the hundred-step snake is turned into beautiful patterns, it is often used to decorate clothing or utensils, and it also has an important spiritual symbol - that is, to strengthen the social class system of the Paiwan people (four classes: chief/noble/warrior/commoner) . In the early days, the nobles were regarded as the descendants of the hundred-step snake in order to consolidate the sacred status of the nobility. Therefore, all the nobles' clothing, houses, living utensils or artworks have the pattern of the hundred-step snake, which ordinary civilians cannot enjoy. Clearly discern the difference in status. ◤Totem Features: Among the traditional totems of the Paiwan people, the hundred-step snake is the most representative, and its decorations are often found in the artistic sculptures, daily necessities, clothing and houses of the Paiwan people. The main features such as pointed head, wide cheeks, raised kiss, back pattern, etc. are the key points of decoration. For example, if the pattern image on the back of the hundred-step snake is simplified, it will form decorative patterns such as triangles, squares, rhombuses, and mesh patterns, and it will be uniquely matched with portrait patterns, deer patterns, or sun patterns. ◤Paiwan clay pot: The Paiwan people have three sacred objects that symbolize power, namely bronze knives, glazed beads and ancient pottery pots, among which the ancient pottery pots are the most valued. According to legend, the ancestors of the Paiwan people were born in pottery pots, and the hundred-step snake is the ancestor and patron saint of the Paiwan people. Therefore, the appearance of ancient pottery pots often has the characteristics of a hundred-step snake in relief or milky protrusions. Ancient pottery pots are not only noble artifacts for worship, but also used in wedding ceremonies. In the traditional social class of the Paiwan people, ancient pottery pots symbolize special status and value. Only high-ranking people (leaders or nobles) can own them and take them out for display or worship in important ceremonies, and outsiders are strictly prohibited from touching them. Paiwan pottery pots are roughly divided into male pots, female pots and yin-yang pots, which are obviously personified. The male pot has a male symbol such as a hundred-step snake or a snake-belly and snake-back pattern, and the female pot has a breast-nail-shaped embossed pattern as a female symbol. As for the Yin-Yang pot, it has both the female pot and the male pot.
