In
the past, Hong Ye was the habitat of Amais. They scattered around the slope. As
there were many “bobcats,” they called it “Kao Yau.” Due to typhoons and
floods, the Amais natives lost much of their land. Also, because of the Bunun
Tribe’s invasion, they moved to the west of the mountain ridge (He Gang now)
and settled there. After the Bunun tribe moved here, they lived on both sides
of the Hong Ye river. They had a very small population only. Since 1933, the
Truku came here and called it “Y-hunang.” As the land was long and shady,
they translated it as “Hong Ye” (red leaves). But the people of their tribe
still called it “Y-hunang.”

Hong
Ye Village belongs to the Truku system of Sedek Clan. When they first moved
here, they lived on the left bank of Hong Ye River, at the west of Ruei Suei
Hot Spring and the southern slope of Hutau Mountain. A small portion of them
lived on Dichishanchi Slope. As Hong Ye was located at the opposite side, they
called it “Sibao.” Then, the Mawanhou Clan of the Bunun Tribe settled down on
the eastern corner of Hong Ye Tribe.TOP

History of Movement
from Grandma Lee
|
During
the Japanese occupation, Hong Ye Village was divided into two clans. Their
members were as follows:
Hong
Ye cluster: It was made up of Sibao, Leshao, I-po, Waheier, and Silaq clan, including
a small number of people from Kelan Clan.
Sibao
Clan: It was located at the table land at the east of Sibao Elementary School.
In 1928, the Japanese police combined the neighboring clans Geiyake and Babaka
together.
The
next year, they compelled the aborigines of the clan to move downhill. A part
of it settled at Hong Ye, under the lead of the Chief Talantaimo. The other
part of it moved to Balanau (Chung-kuang now). After the Restitution, at the
end of 1945, they formed a cluster themselves. As they were the descendants of
Selek Clan, they called themselves SelekTOP
