Wikipedia's article on Manchu shamanism, read directly for this pass, which states it is the principal form of Tungusic shamanism, animist and polytheistic, centered on the sky deity Abka Enduri, divided into domestic ancestor rites and zoomorphic ritual, standardized under the Qianlong Emperor's 1747 manual, and surviving today as a distinct but sinicized strand within broader Chinese folk religion.
