On the basis of first-hand materials gathered through decades of
field research and fleshed out with the author's insightful
religious, cultural, and historical observations extending back to
the Qing dynasty, ancient archaeological discoveries, and the
legacy of Siberian peoples, this two-volume ethnological study
investigates shamanic rituals, myths, and lore in northern China
and explores the common ideology underlying the origins of the
region's cultures. Drawing from numerous oral myths, ancient
documents, and archaeological findings, this first volume discusses
the spiritual world of northern shamanism and investigates the
various rituals, including ancestor worship, fertility, nature
deities, blood sacrifice and rites, the worshiping of nature, and
shrines. The book illuminates how these rituals and worships,
animism, and ideas of the soul are imbedded in and interweave with
the indigenous environment, culture, and history of the clans and
people of northern China. The book will be of great value to
scholars of religion and to both anthropologists and ethnologists
in the fields of shamanism studies, Northeast Asian folklore, and
Manchu studies.
