關於織布技術的來源,在賽夏族流傳廣泛的傳說故事內容如下 :
從前有一群賽夏族人到山上打獵,在他們上山的時候,有位龍女從海底出現,偷偷地幫他們煮飯,身穿整套的祭儀服裝,頭上還綁著頭飾,她在煮飯的時候不巧被其中一人發現,於是她就表示自己是奉父親命令來煮飯的 ,這群賽夏族人中有一名年青人仍然未婚,長老就做主把他們送作堆,讓他們結婚,婚後不久,這個女人帶著夫家親戚十人回到海底的娘家拜訪,這十位賽夏族人見到新娘娘家屋裡的東西,樣樣具全,連牆上的織布成品更是令人目眩神迷,等眾人回到山上時,便請她傳授織布技巧給部落婦女,龍女一口答應,慢慢的學習織布的人也越來越多了,就這樣她培養了二代的學徒,但第一代學徒卻有所保留,並沒有把全部的技術傳授給第二代學徒 ,龍女知道後就親自教導地二代學徒,並舉辦一場織布比賽,結果第一代竟然輸給第二代學徒,第一代學徒心有不甘,便開始說龍女的壞話,雙方互相爭吵不休,龍女心想這些忘恩負義的人既然不歡迎她,乾脆回到海底娘家去好了,於是,她只撇下一句話:「我走了之後,你們要學什麼也學不到了!」之後就頭也不回的走了。
