Religious introduction of shamanism

Shamanism is a witchcraft religion distributed in North Asia, including Manchu shamanism, Mongolian shamanism, Central Asian shamanism and Siberian shamanism. Shamans were once thought to have the ability to control the weather, predict, interpret dreams, astrology and go to heaven or hell. Shaman refers to a shaman who is engaged in shaman technology, and shamanism is put forward by scholars. Shamanism does not refer to a specific religion or belief, but to all shaman experiences and shaman behaviors.

Shamanism tradition began in prehistoric times and spread all over the world. The places where shamanism is worshipped most are the Volga River valley, the areas where Finns live, East Siberia and West Siberia. Nuzhen, the ancestor of Manchu people, also believed in Shamanism until the 0th century 165438. [1] Before the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, it was widely spread in Northeast China and even Mongolia. The Qing emperor combined shamanism with Manchu tradition, and used shamanism to bring the northeast people into the orbit of the empire. At the same time, Shamanism also found its place in the court life of the Qing Dynasty.

The word shaman comes from the Manchu-Tungusic language in Siberia, and becomes the shaman in English through Russian. Shaman refers to a shaman who is engaged in shaman technology. In Tungusic shamanism, Sa means to know, and shamanism literally means "people who know", so it means shamanism is a way to acquire knowledge. Shamanism is a general term for a phenomenon. There is no dogma and no specific belief system. Different traditional shamanism has different ways and characteristics, and the general definition of shamanism also comes from its experience and technology. Jonathan Huo Weici said, "Shamanism is not about belief, but about experience. Huo Weici's definition of shaman is "intentionally changing his state of consciousness, so as to contact and/or enter another reality and gain strength and knowledge from it.". "After the task is completed, the shaman returns to the original world from the shaman trip and helps himself or others with the strength and knowledge he has gained."
