本书是一项基于具体地区、具体民族的研究，通过探析达斡尔族萨满教具体形态和内容，来把握历史上萨满教发展的基本脉络。通过萨满与社会群体关系的展示与分析，剖析萨满教与达斡尔族传统社会结构的内在联系，还原与重构萨满对人们日常生活的影响及其发挥的积极作用，进而针对现代化进程中人口较少民族在文化变迁、文化冲突中出现的问题，探寻民族地区各种社会问题的症结所在。
绪论部分首先阐述了文化的界定，为下面要进行的达斡尔族萨满教习俗文化研究设定基本理论框架，此外还对选题的缘起及其意义、国内外的研究动态、研究思路和方法逐一进行了介绍。
第一章：对达斡尔族历史源流、分布状况和萨满教基本内容作了综述性的介绍。达斡尔族源于辽代北迁的契丹人，族称“达斡尔”，可解析为“大部族”，是契丹大部族与当地各民族在抗击外来侵略中逐渐形成的一个新民族共同体。本章以语言变迁、语言接触作为主要线索，探寻历史上达斡尔族社会文化发展情况。
根据达斡尔族分布地域的不同划分出5个社会群体，分别是布特哈群体、齐齐哈尔群体、海拉尔群体、新疆群体、瑷珲群体。
萨满教以自然万物为神灵，众神皆平等，是森林民族在长期的狩猎生活中孕育出的一种自然宗教，氏族社会、公有制经济是其赖以存在和发展的基础。萨满在古代达斡尔族社会生活中扮演了重要的角色，只有通过他才能完成人、鬼、神之间的交流。供奉的诸多神灵各有分工，在各自的领域内发挥着具体的职能。
第二章：对“萨满”含义的正确解读，对了解萨满教的起源、功能都具有重要的意义。达斡尔人的巫师不管男、女都称为“雅德根”，达斡尔语“雅德根”的含义应为“预言者”或“占卜者”。
萨满的特质是常人所不具备的，要成为萨满还要承受从精神到身体的各种折磨。生态环境、生活方式造就了萨满的精神特质，拥有这些特性的人经过萨满师傅的引导、培训，才能正式被认定为萨满。萨满的传承有世袭和非世袭两种，传承方式主要有神灵托梦和通过自身灵感两种形式。人们相信萨满能够死而复生，因此关于萨满的死亡就笼罩上了几分神秘的色彩，通常采用风葬和树葬这些古老的丧葬方式，并且每年都要举行祭祀活动。
本章最后重点介绍了萨满从事的宗教活动，包括医疗仪式、斡米南仪式、洁身祭、验梦占卜等，以及萨满在宗教活动中使用的法器和服饰。
第三章：萨满作为氏族社会的灵魂人物，在社会生活的各个领域都发挥着非常重要的作用。萨满在达斡尔族社会政治结构中的地位大体经历了部落首领、政权合作者、沦为平民这样三个发展演变历程。
萨满教是维系社会秩序的重要力量，通过举行宗教仪式使人们的生活和行为神圣化，是产生道德观念的重要来源；主要表现在基于祖先崇拜的家族婚姻观，基于自然崇拜和动物崇拜的生态观，基于鬼神崇拜的是非善恶观。
第四章：萨满教是达斡尔族固有的宗教信仰，它的历史演变大致经历了古代全盛时期、近现代衰落时期和现当代文化重构时期。新形势下，萨满文化被列入非物质文化遗产的保护范畴，受到来自社会各界的重视。
萨满从事的治疗活动不能一概简单地视为封建迷信而予以全盘否定。萨满在地方性疾病医疗、协调人际关系、调节心理平衡、心理治疗等方面能够发挥积极的作用，它的某些社会功能是现代医学无法替代的。所以，短时间内还不能彻底消除其影响，这是萨满教能够继续存在的重要原因之一。
This study is based on specific region and specific ethnic group，which intend to grasp the development of Shamanism in history through the analysis on forms and content of Daur Shamanism. It is our intention to find out the crux of the social problems on region inhabited by ethnic groups，through analysis of the relations between Shaman and social groups，revelation of internal relations between Shamanism and traditional Daur social structure.
It illustrated the definition of culture，and laid the theoretical framework for study of customs and culture of Daur Shamanism in Introduction. I also introuduce the background and significance，the overseas and domestic trends，and the goal and methods of the research.
The first part：Aummeriging the historical origin and the distribution of Daur，and the basic components of Ahamanism. Daur origins from the Khitans who moved north community in Liao Dynasty.Daur means large ethnic group，and formed a new united ethnic community during the process that Khitans and local ethnic groups defensed from invasion.Language change and language contact are regarded as main clue to analyse the development of Daur social culture.
According to the differences of geographical distribution，Daur can be divided into five social groups：Butaha group，Qiqihar group，Hailar group，Sinkiang group and Aigun group.
All natural lives are reviewed as gods，and equal in Shamanism. Shamanism is a natural religion that came from the nation for forest hunting，and based on the clan society and public ownership economy. Shaman has played an important role in ancient Daur social life，only he can fulfill the communications within human，ghosts and gods. Different gods have different work and functions.
The second part：Understanding the meaning of Shaman is important to realize the origin and function of Shamanism.All Daur wizards are called yadegen，which means prophet or soothsayer in Daur.
Shaman has special traits influenced by his ecological enviroment and life style.He will suffer from torments mentally and physically if one wants to be a Shaman. Under guaidance and training of Shaman master，he can be accepted as a Shaman.Succession of Shaman follows two different ways—hereditary and non-hereditary，and the two different successive forms are dream and inspiration.
Because people believes that Shaman can revive after death，so the wind burial and The tree burial are usually used for their funeral ceremonies.Each year people holds the ritual activies.
Finally，we focus on introducing come religious activities，such as healing ritual，Aominan ceremony，purifying bath，divination，religious instruments and costumes.
The third part：Shamanism is of importance in various fields as the soul of clan society. Shaman has been in different positions during different periods，who evolved from tribal leaders to cooperator with authorative and ordinary people.
Shamanism is an important power to maitain social order，it is also an important source for moral ideas which sanctified people's life and activity through religious ceremony. This mainly expressed in it's family or marriage view that ancestors worshiped，ecological perspective with nature worship and zoolatry，and virtues and vices based on demonolatry.
The fourth part：Shamanism is Daur inherent religion. It experienced the full bloom period in ancient，the period of declination in mordern time，and the cultural reconstruction period in contemporary age. In current situation，rescue and protection of Shamanism culture have been put in the catogory of Intangible Cultural Heritage，which draw the attention of society. Preparation for museum of Shamanism culture stimulates the development of turism in those areas.
Treatment taken by Shamanism can not be seen as the feudal superstition completely，it has positive function in psychological adjustment of the balance and psychotherapy，and some functions can not be substituted by the mordern medicine，therefore Shamanism can not be eliminated completely in a short time，that is the main reason why Shamanism still survives.
