Since being part of a major performance in 1992 at the National Theater Concert Hall, the people of Chihpen Village have been giving serious thought to ways of reviving their heritage: reinstating traditional festivals, re-establishing their "youth groups" (known as parakuang in the Puyuma language), and bringing back the old six-year training system for young men of the village.
自從一九九二年參加國家戲劇院的大型演出後，知本村民們開始思索文化復振的可能性：恢復祭典、重建青年會所（卑南語稱之為「巴拉冠」parakuang），以及恢復長達六年的少年／青少年訓練制度。
