The Bunun, for example, are traditionally only allowed to make liquor for eight months of the year. At times of planting the fields, sowing seed, weeding, harvesting and storing crops, they will ferment one or two pitchers. For the other four months of the year they have no festivals and just concentrate on resting and building up their strength.
沒有節慶時他們並不釀酒，如傳統上布農族人一年只有八個月可釀酒，在種田、播種、除草、收穫和入倉等時，才釀一、二甕，其餘四個月沒喜慶則好好地休養生息。
