The Taivoan Night Ceremony (Taivoan: Taai, Taa[1]) is one of the most important annual ceremonial rituals of the Taivoan, a plain indigenous people in Taiwan. It is held on September 15th of the lunar calendar in various Taivoan communities such as Siaolin and Rauron in Kaohsiung, and Dazhuang in Hualien. Additionally, the Liuchongxi community in Tainan conducts it a day earlier on September 14th, and the Liouguei community in Kaohsiung holds the ceremony on October 6th.[2]
The Taivoan Night Ceremony in Liuchongxi, along with four other Siraya Night Ceremonies in Tainan — Beitouyang, Kabuasua, Fuxing Palace, and Danei Toushe – are collectively known as the "Five Night Ceremonies" in the Tainan area.[3]
