Historical evolution

The Paiwan Aboriginal people in the past were called "Yin Si Di Mo Er" in Paiwan language, but they were called "Shan Zhu Mao" in Qing Dynasty when the Han people moved to the north for reclamation. After the Sino Japanese War of 1895, the Japanese began to gradually reclaim the area. In 1935, Japan moved the residents of Timor, talavatsal and salalau to today's sandimen, and planned them as Qipan Street settlements Pingtung County, Kaohsiung Prefecture, is under the jurisdiction of "shanshimen"; in 1945, after the restoration of Taiwan in the Second World War, it was changed to "sandimeng township" in Kaohsiung County in the early days, and changed its name to "sandimeng township" in 1947. In 1950, the national government adjusted the administrative region of Taiwan, and changed the name of "sandimen township" to Pingtung County. It was not officially changed to "sandimen" until August 1992, and has become a township with Aboriginal cultural characteristics.
