Kahlawan Stone House Introduction
Darabayan is located on the left side of the Wutai Village Activity Center, in a less conspicuous alley. For the members of the Wutai community, Darabayan represents true nobility and the chief. This can be seen from the large banyan tree outside, the standing stone markers, and the wooden carvings beneath the eaves. The chief's house always has a large courtyard where community members gather when there are significant matters to announce. The family lineage of Darabayan can be traced back to the Old Hao Tea period when the Rukai people migrated from Taitung to Old Hao Tea. As the population gradually increased, commoners ventured out to pioneer land. After settling in present-day Wutai, members of the Old Hao Tea chief's family were sent to lead in Wutai, becoming the current Darabayan family.
