Abstract

In the primitive times, people believed in certain animals or plants as their ancestors or protectors, believing that they had a supernatural power and would protect the human beings. Therefore, people had the totem worship. The family uses the totem name as the surname, the place of residence is marked by the totem pattern, and the nation uses the totem taboo as the belief. For Manchu, an important representative of the ethnic minorities in the North, the widespread bird and beast totem bears this traditional totem culture. As one of the oldest ethnic minorities in China, the totem culture of Manchu nationality is a relatively unique totem worship style, which is not only the continuation of the ideological worship of ancient people, but also has a profound impact on the modern life of Manchu people.
