Shamanism

Shamanism is a primitive religion believed by ethnic minorities in the north. That is, they believe in polytheistic religions such as gods of heaven, earth, rivers or fire. The Zarut tribe also believed in shamanism in ancient times.

The idol worshiped by Shamanism is "Wenggaode", and "Wenggaode" is made of bronze. In Mongolian, the male shaman is called "Bo" and the female shaman is called "Idugan". Shamans claim to be the messengers of the "gods" and are bound by the "gods" to protect the safety of mankind. When "Bo" and "Idugan" were invited to "exorcise evil spirits and cure diseases", they would go to the patient's house to perform a spiritual dance.

She holds a sheepskin drum with many small iron rings on the drum handle. They dance according to a certain rhythm, and the sound of drums, bronze mirrors and bronze bells suddenly rises. The shaman mutteres words, asking "Saihus" (reincarnated gods) to go to hell and be possessed. The shaman sang and danced for about an hour. The shaman chants incantations, dances, pretends to be possessed by ghosts and gods, performs various movements to exorcise evil spirits, explains the "will" of the gods or draws charms for patients to subdue them.

Shamanism is passed down and inherited by masters from generation to generation. As of 1949, there were still many descendants of "Bo" from the rural and pastoral areas of Zalut Banner. Some eulogies and dance music are still preserved in Mongolian literature.
