The book Taiwan Fu Zhi (" Annals of Taiwan Prefecture "), written by Gao Gongqian during the Kangxi reign of the Qing dynasty, also records," Taiwan has long been the home of people who tattoo their faces, have black teeth, wear their hair short and tattoo their bodies. "
清康熙年間高拱乾的《台灣府志》也記載：「台在昔為雕題黑齒之種、斷發文身之鄉」，這裡頭所寫的「雕題」，指的就是黥面。
