Shamanic culture is a kind of primitive religious culture, centered on shamans, through which shamans communicate with gods and hold sacrificial ceremonies and other activities, reflecting the animistic concept. It is widely spread among indigenous tribes in many regions such as Asia and northern Europe. This research aims to study the cultural and artistic expressions of Manchu shaman culture through hunting-fishing activities in Chakan Lake, to study the symbolic meaning, cultural inheritance and integration in fishing and hunting traditions, and to propose new perspectives for ethnic cultural conservation and artistic creation. The research methods used include literature review, field survey, artwork analysis, and case study to demonstrate the innovation and inheritance of shaman culture in modern society. The research found that the shamanic culture in the fishing and hunting activities of Chakan Lake is reflected through artistic forms such as dance, music, and painting, showcasing the Manchu people's reverence and worship of nature. These art forms not only possess unique aesthetic value but also demonstrate the deep connection between the Manchu people and natural deities. In modern society, these art forms have been passed down and innovated, continuing to enrich local cultural traditions. In other words, the artistic forms of shamanic culture, through modern artistic approaches, have gained new vitality in contemporary times. These forms preserve the core elements of traditional culture while promoting cultural diversity, becoming an essential channel for understanding and preserving cultural heritage. becoming an essential channel for understanding and protecting cultural heritage.
