Features: Shamanism, a mysterious and revered term in the history of world human culture, has become increasingly well-known to the world. In recent years, China has shown great attention and enthusiasm in preserving and rescuing the cultural heritage of ethnic minorities in the northern regions, achieving remarkable results. What is particularly moving is that many respected elders, farmers, and descendants of shamans from their own ethnic groups, without seeking compensation, have traveled among their communities, collectively recalling clues and uncovering long-lost national treasures. After experiencing ups and downs and transformations, some handwritten spiritual texts are still carefully preserved within various clans, leaving one in awe of the enduring vitality of national culture. A long-held aspiration to build a cultural museum for the Chinese nation is being diligently realized by insightful Chinese individuals.
