Chinese Shamanism

Chinese Shamanism, historically practiced across various regions of China, involves individuals known as shamans or spiritual mediums who act as intermediaries between the human and spiritual worlds. They perform rituals, ceremonies, and healing practices to communicate with ancestors, deities, and spirits to influence events, seek guidance, or cure ailments. Rooted in ancient beliefs, these practices blend with Taoism, Buddhism, and local folk traditions, reflecting China's rich spiritual diversity. Though less prominent today, Chinese shamanism maintains cultural significance, emphasizing harmony with nature and spiritual forces through ritualistic expressions.
