The Paiwan’s festival of Maljeveq is held every five years and composed of two phases. At the first phase, people go through the preliminaries, invoke and offer gifts to the ancestral spirits and participate in activities such as setting up symbolic barricades to fend off evil spirits, piercing rattan balls pitched into the air in a contest, singing and dancing. The second phase takes place in the following year, in which ceremonies are held to bid farewell to evil spirits and ancestral spirits. Different tribes tend to interpret the origin of Maljeveq differently, while there are a number of objectives central to the festival: praying to ancestral spirits for good fortune, expressing sentiments that people hold dear to their life, holding the tribe together and reallocating positive augury among families.

排灣族五年祭以五年一期舉行，並以整個部落為祭儀範圍。分為前祭和後祭，前祭除了各式準備工作也包含迎靈招喚、祭告祖靈、遮護、刺球、歌舞歡樂等祭祀工作，後祭則主要是指次年的送惡靈、祖靈。雖然各部落對於五年祭的由來及詮釋皆不同，但皆有祈求祖靈賜福、體現族人對生命的情感、重整部落社會秩序乃至於重新分配部落內部各家族運勢等意涵。
