Young men and women of Gaoshan nationality also have the habit of getting their ears pierced. Now only women wear ears, and few men wear them. The purpose of piercing ears is the same as that of Han people, in order to wear earrings. However, the Gaoshan people should not only pierce the earlobe, but also pierce the helix. Hanging decorations are not gold or silver, but bamboo tubes, shells and aluminum plates. There are fine carvings on the bamboo tube, and a string of colored beads is tied to the hair with silk thread at one end of the bamboo tube. Some earrings are big wooden rings, because they are too heavy and often tear the lower part of the ear.

In order to enlarge the ear holes, Pingpu people keep adding bamboo joints and let their ears hang down, becoming a handsome man in Pingpu people's minds. Huang Shu (Wang Jiajing) wrote in the "Notes of Taiwan Province Province": "A few big ears are strange, and all ages can drill ears; Cut bamboo and plug the wheel, and the wheel is getting bigger and bigger, such as money, such as dishes. "

All ethnic groups are proud of big earrings. Conch, copper and tin plates and cups have all become decorations, and some women even have eight or nine holes in their ears.
