Introduction to shamanic culture, shamanism is the belief of which people

I think Xiamen has played a very important role in the development of Chinese religious culture, and Salmoism has also played a prominent role in the study of religious history in China. I think shamanism first appeared in prehistoric times, and it spread all over the world.

Shamanic culture is a primitive form of religion, which is of great strategic significance for the survival and development of human culture, and has played a role in promoting China's religious culture. It first appeared in primitive clan societies.

The shaman is based on the gods, and the invitation of the spiritual world to the gods is completed through the shaman's dance and singing, and there is also the samar as the main body, and the soul is out of the shell through dance songs, so that the shaman's soul can break away from the real world and communicate with the gods; Shamans were first prevalent among the northern peoples of Eurasia and North America.

It has formed a unique religious culture and is a unique national culture; Originated from the primitive clan society, it has a long history, and the cultural content is also particularly rich, which has played a corresponding role in the long history and inheritance of Chinese culture.

Shamanism is a religion of Manchu, Mongolian, Tibetan, Xianbei, and Qiang peoples.

Shamanic traditions began in prehistoric times and spread all over the world. Shamanism is most worshipped in the Volga River valley, in the areas inhabited by the Finnish race, in Eastern Siberia and Western Siberia.

The word shaman is derived from the Siberian Manchurian-Tungusic word saman, and through Russian it becomes English shaman, shaman refers to shamans who practice shamanic techniques. In the word saman in the Tungusic language, sa means to know (toknow), and saman means "knower" (hewhoknows) in the literal sense of the word, so the name knower means that shamanism is a way to acquire knowledge.

Shamanism is a primitive religion commonly believed in the ancient northern peoples of China, which arose in the prosperous period of the primitive matriarchal clan society.

The Manchus believed in and inherited shamanism consistent with the ancient polytheistic beliefs of the Tunguska people over a long period of history. The term shaman first appeared in the Southern Song Dynasty historical document "Three Dynasties and Northern League Compilation", which is a Jurchen language, meaning a person like a sorcerer.

Ancient northern peoples or tribes, such as Sushen, Beji, Jian, Jurchen, Xiongnu, Khitan, etc.; In modern times, the northern peoples, such as the Manchus, Mongols, Hezhes, Evenkis, Kazakhs, etc., also believe in shamanism or retain some shamanic customs. The spread of shamanic primitive beliefs is quite extensive, encompassing a vast area of North Asia, Central and Northern Europe, and North America.

Characteristics: Shamanism is characterized by the worship of animals, the worship of nature, the worship of ancestors, and the belief that all things are animistic. Shamanic worshippers worship the river god when they see the river, the tree god when they see the tree, the sun god when they see the sun, and the moon god when they see the moon, which is a basic characteristic of shamanism.

Shamanism has existed for a long or short time due to the different cultures of each place.

Shamanism in almost all regions divides the world into upper, middle, and lower levels: the upper level is inhabited by gods; The middle layer is where people and animals thrive; The lower level is a place where ghosts live. Man lives between ghosts and heaven, both protected by the gods and haunted by ghosts.

It is a belief of the Mongolian people.

Shaman, a very ancient profession, has existed in primitive tribes, has a very important role in the tribe, is related to the rise and fall of the entire tribe, is considered to be the most divided close to the gods of the people, responsible for communicating with the ancestors of the gods to obtain enlightenment, predicting the rise and fall of the tribe, guiding the whole tribe, and also carrying out some medical treatment**, but in the primitive society shamans did not form a religion; Today's shamanism may belong to a religion of primitive tribes that have survived to this day, and there do not seem to be primitive tribes in our country!

Traditional Chinese Culture, Ethnic Culture, Shamanism.

It is a primitive religion practiced by the Manchus, Mongolians, Daurs, Oroqen and other ethnic groups in the ancient north of China. "Shaman" is a transliteration of the Tungusic language, meaning "crazy man", and the Chinese translation is "shaman". Shamanism was formed in the late primitive society, is a polytheistic religion, believes in the animism of all things, the immortality of the soul, and believes that the universe is divided into three realms: the upper, middle and lower realms, the upper realm is inhabited by gods, the middle realm is inhabited by human beings, and the lower realm is inhabited by demons.

Shamans developed from the priests of primitive societies, initially served as women, and now mostly men, claiming to be the intermediary between people and God, able to communicate with God, can perform witchcraft, eliminate disasters and seek blessings for people, and drive away evil spirits and cure diseases. Whenever a grand sacrifice is held or a god dances to heal a disease, the shaman wears a hat on his head, decorated with five-colored strips of paper, hangs down to cover his face, wears a long cloth skirt, ties a copper bell around his waist, recites mantras, and dances with his hands.

In the eyes of the ancients, religion was a symbol of mysterious and unknown powers, and the reverence for these supernatural powers promoted the development of religion, and shamanism was the main belief in the Daur culture, which has a long history. Shamanism has extended to the lives of the Daur people.

Shamanism and the Daur cosmology and code of conduct. The shamanism of the Daur and other tribes divides the universe into three realms: the upper realm is the world of holy and benevolent gods, the middle realm is the world of humans and animals, and the lower realm is the underworld of demons and dead souls.

This nonsensical idealistic view of the universe is naturally a great improvement over the previous chaotic concept of the entire universe as a vague mess, which places man in the middle of the entire universe and connects man with the world of gods and demons, forming the core of the cosmology.

Shamanism and Daur folklore. Shamanic literature is an integral part of Daur folklore. In the myths and legends of the Daur people, the legends of various gods and shamans occupy an important position.

At the "Ominan" festival, shamans invite the gods, offer sacrifices to the gods, and make vows to the gods on behalf of the sick, and when they make vows to the gods on weekdays, they sing prayers with different contents to describe the origin, physical characteristics, hobbies, and the richness of the offerings made to each god.

Shamanism and the folk dance of the Daur people. When shamans worship the gods and perform "ominan" rituals, the prayers they chant have a certain tune. Due to the different content of the prayers, the tunes also have the difference between high-pitched and passionate and steady and slow, and the high-pitched and steady tunes of the prayers have their own characteristics in different regions.

Manchu and Daur primitive medical techniques. Among the Daur and other ethnic groups, the "Balsi" realm Niang god or mountain god is its deity, there is no divine clothing, only 108 rosaries, to treat scabies and fractures and other surgical diseases: "Barechin" is the original midwife, giving pregnant women the right position and delivery, some of which take the mountain god as the deity.

Although the treatment of smallpox and measles was mainly dedicated to the gods, the "Wo Tuoxi", which regarded the goddess as the deity, kept the patient's home quiet and did not make the patient excited and angry, and hung a red orchid cloth strip at the door of the patient's house to show that he was cut off from other people's homes, and other measures, which indeed had the germination of primitive medicine.
