  "lineage": "Trance-seance chant of Manchu and related Tungusic peoples of Manchuria (northeast China) and adjacent Siberia — the culture from whose language the word 'shaman' (saman) entered Western usage. In the seance the shaman invokes clan and wild spirits in pulsed chanted verse driven by a hand-held frame drum and jingling waist bells, building toward possession-trance, with assistants answering the shaman's calls in fixed responses. Domestic clan rites were codified under the Qing dynasty in an imperially commissioned 18th-century ritual code, while the ecstatic wild-spirit seances survived in village practice; S. M. Shirokogoroff's Psychomental Complex of the Tungus (1935) remains the canonical ethnographic documentation.",
